How much will it cost?

If you qualify for Legal Aid then your mediation meetings will be free. Most people in receipt of Universal Credit will be eligible for Legal Aid, we can signpost you to a service that can assist you with legal aid, if necessary, as we are no longer taking on legal aid clients.

For children’s cases the Mediation Voucher Scheme will be able to assist with the costs of meetings. This is non-means tested and provides up to £500 towards the cost of joint meetings.

Our private fees, these are inclusive, which means you are not charged additionally for; letters, phone calls etc. Also we do not charge VAT, so the prices you see here are the prices that you pay. Please note you are individually responsible for your fees only.

The standard charge for a MIAM is £100 per person per meeting.  This fee covers the MIAM, liaising with the other person and for issuing a mediation certificate (if needed).

For joint mediation sessions the charge is £125 per person per session for a standard 60 minute session. There is also additional government funding available to support private fees of up to £500 in mediations about child arrangements.

To give a general indication of the number of sessions that will be needed: for children’s issues 1-2 sessions will be required, for financial issues 2-3 sessions, for both 3-4 sessions. Complicated and highly conflicted cases may need additional sessions.

The fees for your final documents vary depending on whether you are divorcing or not. For a divorce we will be producing an Open Statement of Financial Information and a Memorandum of Understanding for you, the fee for these is £175 per person per document. For other matters the fee for an Outcome Statement is £100 per person.

You can agree between you to share the fees however you like. Fees are paid in advance of any meeting / drafting and in stages as you move through the process.
