Custody

If both parents have custody rights, they must make decisions about the upbringing of the children together. This involves the care arrangement, but also any decision that needs to be made about school, medical treatment or travelling abroad.  In those cases, mediation offers a quick solution, without escallation of the conflict.

I am happy to help you as a mediator with all types of issues that may arise.

Medical treatment

Medical decisions sometimes involve religion, one’s own traumas, hopes and feelings of guilt.

Leisure

The possibilities seem endless, but they are limited by schedules, distances, skills and motivation.

Joint custody

If you want to talk about joint custody, or terminating  the joint custody, this requires a sensitive approach.
