Useful Information
Family mediation is a process in which an independent, professionally trained mediator helps you work out arrangements for children and finances following separation.
Mediation can also be helpful when arrangements you’ve made before need to change, particularly as your children grow up.
Mediation helps you stay in control. No-one will make you do anything against your wishes.
As your mediator, we will help you find a solution which works for you both and will explain what needs to happen to make an agreement between you legally binding.
We help families to agree on financial arrangements after separation, and to find a way to parent their children co-operatively after separation.
If you’re on a low income or benefits, you might qualify for Legal Aid, which can cover the full cost of mediation (including MIAMs and documents). Unfortunately, The Mediation House does not currently offer Legal Aid. Please click here find a Legal Aid mediation service that could help you moving forward. Tick the box “Provides mediation funded by legal aid” in ‘Refine Your Search’.
