  • Creativity – it allows you to consider and discuss options that are tailored specifically to suit your own circumstances and those of your family.
  • Cost effectiveness – It means you can avoid the court process and emotional and financial costs that often comes with it;
  • Good Communication – it often works to improve communication to enable you to deal with future problems more effectively; and
