Disputes and mediation

If I have difficulty communicating with my spouse, can I accept family mediation service unilaterally?

Only if both parties agree to separate/divorce and are willing to attend the mediation interview together can they receive family mediation service. The parties need to inform the other party of their intention to separate/divorce and have contacted our Centre (you can provide the other party with service information such as leaflets or the website of the Mediation Centre (https://www.mediationcentrehk.org). If the other party does not object, our Centre can contact him/her and invite him/her to accept this service. This can make the other party more psychologically prepared, and may be more willing to accept family mediation service.
