Mediation is a process that helps people sort out the issues that often arise when a relationship breaks down. This might include the arrangements for children, dealing with financial issues and also improving communication

About Mediation

Legal Aid or Voucher

We offer Legal Aid for the mediation process if you are eligible, so the initial information meeting and all Mediation is free of charge. With Legal Aid you can also access some free advice and assistance from a solicitor throughout the mediation process, and have any financial agreement you make made legally binding into a court order. Your mediator will discuss this with you.

We can also apply for a Mediation Voucher up to £500.00 per case through the Ministry of Justice scheme, if you do not qualify for Legal Aid and your case concerns children.

“The arrangement made by the Court for our children didn’t suit either of us, but mediation helped us change it, to suit us better. I wish I had come to mediation sooner!”
