Mediation Pricing

Thank you for looking at our Mediation services.

Mediation is a cost-effective way of helping couples who are separating or divorcing to sort out arrangements to do with money, property or children.

Why Us

Our specialist Family Law Mediator dealing with your matter will discuss your individual circumstances with you, the mediation process, whether mediation is right for you and the fees involved.

Our Family Law Mediators are trained to work with people whose relationships have broken down, to help sort out practical issues such as arrangements for children, child maintenance, shared finances and/or debts and communication between parties.

Victoria Poole is a Resolution Accredited Specialist in Domestic Violence and Children Law (private) and a Resolution Accredited Family Mediator (all issues) with extensive experience in family and relationship breakdown.

Pricing: Fixed Fees

  • £150 plus VAT per person – MIAM
  • £250 plus VAT per person per hour
  • £250 plus VAT hourly rate for additional work

Time Scales

Each Mediation appointment will usually last 90 minutes. The full process to mediate will normally take between 2 to 5 joint sessions, depending on the complexity of the issues. 

Legal Aid

We do not offer Legal Aid for mediation.  You can check if you qualify for Legal Aid, you can always contact the Legal Aid Agency on 0845 3454345 or visit their website at www.gov.ukcheck-legal-aid.  You can find a mediator who offers Legal Aid Mediation at ww.familymediationcouncil.org.uk

Key Milestones

During the mediation process there are key milestones, which may vary according to individual circumstances.

Typically, it will involve the following:

  • MIAM – Mediation Information Assessment Meeting – the initial assessment meeting to identify whether mediation is appropriate
  • Should all parties agreed to mediation, an estimated 2-5 mediation sessions will take place (final number of sessions and length is dependent on individual circumstances)
  • If required and requested to do so, the Mediator will prepare a written record of the mediation sessions where relevant e.g. MOU, OFS, Child Summary (see above)
  • If relevant, the Mediator will recommend clients obtain their own independent legal advice upon the terms of the understandings reached at mediation with a view to making them legal binding.
