Divorce Mediation Solicitors

Divorce mediation is a voluntary process that allows separating couples to negotiate issues like finances, property, and child arrangements with the help of an independent third party (the mediator). It aims to foster open communication, reduce conflict, and often avoid the need for lengthy or expensive court proceedings.

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.
