Relationship breakdown

A breakdown in relationships in the home can occur between marital/common law partners but also between parents and their teenage children and wider family and friends. If this happens to you, one of the three organisations offering housing advice may be able to mediate between conflicting parties or may refer you to mediation services who will support families and help negotiate terms to resolve disputes.

The aim of mediation is to help resolve relationship problems so as to improve the living conditions for all parties. It is hoped that this would be a long term solution; however it can be used to improve a situation whilst looking for alternative solutions.
