MEDIATION FEES

At Pax Mediation, we believe in providing transparent, affordable, and accessible family mediation services to support families during challenging times. Whether you’re navigating child arrangements, financial disputes, or separation issues, our cost-effective pricing ensures mediation remains a viable alternative to lengthy and expensive court proceedings.

We are committed to keeping our fees simple and transparent. Below is a breakdown of our charges for family mediation services:

​

​

  • ONLINE - £130

  • FACE TO FACE - £150

  • OUT OF HOURS - £160

  • C100/FORMA - Court Form - FREE

​​​

A MIAM is a required step for most court applications and at Pax Mediation, we ensure you receive the signed C100 form or Form A on the same day, so there’s no delay in proceeding with your application if mediation isn’t suitable.

  • ALL ISSUES - £200 per person

As a guide, Children Arrangements usually take two sessions, each of about an hour and a 30 minutes duration. Property and Finance mediation or All Issues usually takes three to five sessions, each of about 1 hour 45 minutes duration. You decide on the timing of the sessions, so you can stage the sessions with your ability to pay.

​​

3. Drafting Agreements

​

  • OPEN FINANCIAL STATEMENT - £250 per person

  • MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING - £250 per person

  • ACTION PLAN - FREE

  • PARENTING PLAN - FREE

​

These documents summarize the agreements reached during mediation, providing clarity and a foundation for legal formalities if required.

LEGAL AID

Legal Aid is available for family mediation. If you are eligible mediation is completely FREE for you. The mediator will assess your eligibility before proceeding and if you are not eligible you do not have to proceed with the meeting if you do not want to.

 

If the other party is eligible for Legal Aid, the Legal Aid Agency will pay for the MIAM for both of you.  If you are eligible for Legal Aid, you will also be eligible for the Help with Mediation scheme, which provides for some free legal advice alongside mediation. We can tell you more about this at your initial meeting.
