What is divorce mediation in the UK?
- Collaborative problem-solving: A neutral mediator helps both spouses discuss and resolve disputes without taking sides.
- Focus on mutual agreement: The aim is to reach practical solutions acceptable to both parties, rather than having a judge impose a decision.
- Structured sessions: Mediations typically occur in a series of meetings, letting you address issues step by step (e.g., finances, property, childcare).
- Legally binding outcomes: Once agreements are reached, they can be turned into a consent order for approval by the court.
How can a solicitor help with divorce mediation, and what does it cost?
A solicitor can:
- Provide independent advice: Ensuring you understand your legal position before and during mediation sessions.
- Help draft agreements: Turning mediation outcomes into a formal document (often called a consent order) to make the arrangements legally binding.
- Represent your interests if talks fail: If mediation doesn’t resolve all issues, a solicitor can guide you through court proceedings.
Costs depend on the complexity of your situation and the mediator or solicitor’s fees. Mediation sessions may cost £100–£200 per hour, split between both parties, while solicitors’ rates often range from £150–£300 per hour. Some firms offer fixed-fee packages for straightforward cases. Request an initial consultation to discuss your needs, explore costs, and decide whether mediation is the best path forward.
