Solicitors Family mediation

Family mediation is a process in which a neutral third party (the mediator) helps separated or separating couples, or family members in dispute, to communicate effectively and reach agreements on issues such as child arrangements or financial matters. By encouraging open dialogue, mediation often reduces conflict and avoids lengthy, costly court proceedings.

What does family mediation involve?

Voluntary participation: Both parties must agree to attend and be willing to negotiate in good faith.
Impartial mediator: The mediator doesn’t take sides or offer legal advice but guides discussions and ensures a fair hearing for all.
Structured sessions: Mediation usually takes place in a series of meetings, covering topics like finances, property, or child arrangements.
Legally binding outcomes: If an agreement is reached, it can be formalised into a consent order, which the court can approve to make it legally binding.

How can a solicitor help with family mediation, and what does it cost?

A family solicitor can:

Offer independent advice: Ensuring you understand your legal position before and during the mediation process.
Draft consent orders: Converting your mediated agreements into a legally binding format, if desired.
Represent you if mediation fails: Should mediation not resolve all issues, a solicitor can guide you through court proceedings.

Costs vary based on your solicitor’s experience, the complexity of the issues, and how many mediation sessions you need. Mediators often charge £100–£200 per hour (often split between participants), while solicitors’ fees can range from £150–£300 per hour. Some firms offer fixed-fee packages for simpler cases. An initial consultation helps clarify likely costs and the benefits of mediation for your situation.
