# Children 1st Family Mediation Bideford
Children 1st Family Mediation is a UK-leading specialist in resolving family disputes without the adversarial nature of court proceedings. Operating in Bideford, they provide accredited mediators who guide families through separation, divorce and relationship breakdowns with practical, fair solutions.
The business serves separating and divorcing couples navigating complex financial arrangements including property division, pensions and maintenance. They equally support parents working through child arrangements—determining where children live, contact schedules and emotional support—as well as grandparents seeking formalised contact. They also mediate broader family relationship breakdowns where communication has deteriorated.
What distinguishes Children 1st is their commitment to affordability and accessibility. They actively help clients access Legal Aid where eligible, meaning mediation costs nothing. For those ineligible for Legal Aid, they offer the Government Family Mediation Voucher Scheme, worth up to £500 for cases involving child arrangements. This removes significant financial barriers commonly associated with family dispute resolution.
Their mediators specialise in empowering families to take ownership of decisions rather than having outcomes imposed. By focusing on mutual agreement and practical solutions, they avoid lengthy, expensive solicitor-led processes. The initial MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting) provides a transparent introduction to the process, ensuring clients understand what mediation can achieve before committing further resources.
