Fees
If you are funding yourself Mediation is quicker and cheaper than either negotiating via solicitors or going to court. A lot of information can be exchanged in the course of a meeting and misunderstandings can be quickly cleared up. The fee structure is based very simply on how many meetings you have. There are no hidden costs, so all paperwork that is produced for you is included in the charge for the meeting, and there are no additional VAT charges. Please see the table below for more detail:
| TYPE OF MEETING | LENGTH OF MEETING | FEE | OUT OF HOURS MEETING* |
|
Mediation Information Assessment Meeting (MIAM) |
45 minutes | £75 per person | £80 |
| Property and Finance Meetings | 1 hour & 30 mins |
£200 pp for first meeting £150 pp for each subsequent meeting |
£220 £170 |
|
All Issues meetings (i.e. including property, finance and children's issues) |
1 hour & 30 mins |
£200 pp for first meeting £150 pp for each subsequent meeting |
£220 £170 |
| Arrangements for Children | 1 hour & 30 mins | £50 per person. |

In cases involving property and finance disputes, the higher rate for the first meeting covers the additional administrative cost involved in documenting property and finance matters.
