Co-parenting arrangements
A co-parenting agreement outlines shared responsibilities, schedules, and decisions to ensure a stable, supportive environment for your child

£500 Government Voucher Scheme for family mediation
If a child is involved, you’ll get 2 free mediation hours. I’ll handle the application—quick approval!
Online Conflict Resolution
I work across England and Wales. I offer online mediation that fits around your schedule. Early morning and evening appointments are available at no extra cost.
MIAM
A Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting is a 60-minute one to one session to explore mediation, it's alternatives, and assess if it’s safe and suitable.
Family Mediation
Did you know mediation can happen in a variety of ways. You can have a face to face session at my comfortable office. You can have an online session. Or you can have shuttle mediation. This is where you would not see or hear the other person, but you would both be able to speak to me. I then facilitate the passing of information from one person to the other.
C100 Form
Sometimes mediation is not suitable, or one party does not wish to mediate. I can sign a C100 form so you can make an application to the family court.
Children Inclusive Mediation
Child inclusive mediation provides opportunities for children and young people to have their voices heard directly during the process of family mediation, to help them feel respected and listened to.
Meet Milly Wildish
My name is Milly and I am a family mediator registered with the Family Mediation Council (FMC) and Family Mediation Association.
This is important, as only mediators registered with the FMC can offer the government voucher scheme.
I have a background in police and social care as well as safeguarding in education settings. I have seen first hand the impact conflict has on children and families. I am passionate about helping families make co-parenting and financial arrangements that meet the needs of everyone, especially children, so that conflict does not persist and become the norm. My goal is to keep families out of the family court system.
