- Memorandum of Understanding at conclusion of mediation.
Joint Family Mediation
Family mediation helps you work through arrangements together in a structured way, focusing on practical solutions for the future.
Why our sessions are two hours
Two hours provides the space needed to explore options properly, reduce misunderstandings, and make meaningful progress in one sitting – rather than splitting discussions across multiple shorter appointments. You get more done without leaving in the middle of a crucial point.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your prices per person or per couple?
This allows each individual to receive the appropriate level of support and ensures clarity around costs from the outset.
Do you charge VAT?
Do I have to commit to multiple sessions?
You can take things one step at a time and decide what feels right as you go.
Can I change my mind after a MIAM?
It is an opportunity to understand your options and decide how you would like to move forward.
Will you tell me which option I should choose?
Our role is to provide clear information and support so you can make informed choices that feel right for you.
How many sessions will we need?
Do I have to go to mediation before going to court?
In most cases, yes.
You are usually required to attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) before making a court application, unless an exemption applies.
The MIAM allows you to understand whether mediation could be suitable before taking court action.
Does attending mediation mean we have to agree?
No.
Mediation is a voluntary process. You are not forced to reach an agreement and you remain in control of all decisions.
If mediation is not suitable or does not progress, you still retain the option of applying to court.
What if the other person refuses to mediate?
If the other person does not engage or mediation is not appropriate, a MIAM certificate can be issued, allowing you to make a court application if you choose to do so.
Is mediation cheaper than going to court?
For most people, yes.
Mediation is generally quicker, more cost-effective, and less stressful than court proceedings, which can be lengthy and expensive.
Mediation also allows you to keep control of decisions rather than having them imposed by a judge.
When might court be more appropriate?
Court may be necessary where:
-
There are serious safety concerns
-
One person is unwilling to engage at all
-
Urgent decisions are required
The MIAM helps explore whether mediation is suitable in your circumstances.
