 MIAMS assessment meetings. 

The charge for the meeting and signing the relevant certificates is £130 for each person and is payable in advance of the meeting by bank transfer.

Family mediation meetings

Mediation summaries

These are charged at one hour of work ( i.e. £150 per person) and payable in advance.

Method of payment

VAT

I do not charge VAT

Legal aid

I do not offer a legal aid service but you can search for someone who does on the website of the Family Mediation Council.  If you want to check your eligibility you can do this on www.gov.uk/check-legal-aid

Ministry of Justice Voucher Scheme

I am included on the list of mediators who are authorised to apply for vouchers on behalf of clients who wish to discuss arrangement for their children or engage in child inclusive mediation.  This is not means tested and provides up to £500 towards the cost of the mediation.  It can only be applied for once both parents have paid for a MIAM meeting and signed a consent form.   This scheme may be subject to review by the government in future.
