WHY CHOOSE FAMILY MEDIATION?
Have a look at the video below to understand more about how family mediation can help you.
Family Mediation is a much more affordable, flexible and effective option for families dealing with their children, property and financial arrangements after a separation.
Working with an independent, impartial professional family mediator can help you both to look at all options to decide the best way forward for your family.
YOU REACH YOUR OWN DECISIONS TOGETHER ON EVERYTHING THAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU
The first step towards starting family mediation is to undertake a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting. This takes place on your own, online, and takes up to an hour. The MIAM process is an opportunity for the mediator to assess whether mediation is suitable and for you to assess whether it is something that you wish to do.

CLICK HERE TO DISCOVER HOW TO GET UP TO £500 PER COUPLE TOWARDS COSTS REGARDLESS OF INCOME
The family mediation voucher scheme is a time-limited government scheme, designed to support participants who may be able to resolve their family law disputes outside of court.
To support this, a financial contribution of up to £500 towards the costs of mediation will be provided, if eligible.
The vouchers are available where children are considered as part of the mediation process and can only be applied for once you have both attended a mediation information and assessment meeting.
THERE ARE NO FINANCIAL STIPULATIONS FOR THIS SCHEME.
Further information can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/family-mediation-voucher-scheme. There is no guarantee that funds will be available and will need to be checked when you are ready to proceed after your initial mediation information and assessment meetings.
At present, funds are still available.
WHAT WE CAN DO
- Help you to consider how best to sort out all of the practical issues arising out of your separation so that you are both involved and fully informed
- Help you both to work together to decide what is best for your children so that they are able to have a full relationship with both of you
- Help you to navigate the process and to work out a financial agreement together
WHAT WE CAN’T DO
- Give legal advice – although when together, there is a lot of legal information that can be provided to both of you to enable you to make your own decisions.
- Decide any outcomes for you – a family mediator helps you to reach your own decisions TOGETHER.
- Take sides between you – mediators are completely impartial
THERE ISN’T MUCH THAT WE CAN’T DO TO ASSIST YOU TOGETHER
