MIAM & Family Mediation Fees
As supervised mediators working toward full accreditation, our fees are affordable compared to other UK Mediation services.
You only pay for the service you use. There are no hidden costs, and no requirement to proceed beyond your MIAM.
If you believe you may be eligible for legal aid, although we don’t provide it, we are happy to refer you to a service that does.
For all cases involving children, please see our Access Family Mediation Voucher below.

Where mediation progresses, documentation may include:
• Open Financial Statement (OFS)

Where mediation involves arrangements for children, we offer a private mediation voucher which covers 50% of the cost of your first two joint mediation sessions. Worth £300.
This is shared between both parties (or can be used for only a single party’s costs where both parties agree)
The eligibility of this voucher will be discussed in your MIAM.
