Family Mediation 'How am I going to pay the bills now?'

Listen in on a mediation session. Ross and Dawn had been married for eight years, with two sons aged five and seven, when Dawn threw Ross out for having an affair. Since the split, they'd both been struggling financially. Dawn hadn't worked since they'd had the children and Ross' wages wouldn't stretch between two households now they were no longer living together. When they went to family mediation, the mediator helped them to see that it was in everyone's best interests for them to start co-operating with each other again to work out how they were going to manage from now on.
