Family mediation is a voluntary, confidential, and legally supported process in the UK designed to help separating or divorcing couples resolve disputes amicably. A neutral, professionally trained mediator facilitates discussions to help parties reach mutually acceptable agreements on key issues such as:
Child Arrangements (custody, visitation, schooling).
Financial Settlements (property, pensions, spousal maintenance).
Division of Assets (joint savings, businesses, inheritances).
Unlike court proceedings, mediation prioritizes collaboration over confrontation, empowering families to retain control over decisions that affect their futures.
Our structured approach ensures clarity, fairness, and compliance with UK legal standards:
Mediation Information & Assessment Meeting (MIAM): A mandatory first step (under the Children and Families Act 2014) where the mediator explains the process, assesses suitability for mediation, and explores alternatives to court.
Goal: Determine if mediation is right for you.
Facilitated Discussions: Over 2–4 sessions, the mediator guides constructive dialogue to identify priorities, address disagreements, and explore solutions.
Child-Inclusive Mediation: Where appropriate, children’s views are sensitively incorporated through specialist mediators.
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU): A legally recognized document outlining mutually agreed-upon terms.
Open Financial Summary (OFS): A transparent record of financial disclosures (required for court approval).
Consent Order: A solicitor converts the MoU into a legally binding court order, ensuring enforceability.
Cost-Effective: Mediation typically costs 60–70% less than contested court proceedings.
Faster Resolutions: Most cases conclude within 4–8 weeks, avoiding court backlogs.
Preserves Relationships: Reduces conflict, critical for co-parenting and family harmony.
Legally Robust: Outcomes comply with UK family law (e.g., Children Act 1989, Matrimonial Causes Act 1973).
Confidential: Unlike court hearings, discussions remain private.
Mandatory MIAM: Required before applying to court for child arrangements or financial orders (exemptions apply for domestic abuse).
Family Mediation Council (FMC): Regulates standards for accredited mediators.
Legal Aid: Available for eligible individuals (income-based).
Accredited Mediators: Our team includes FMC-regulated mediators and solicitors with dual qualifications in family law.
Specialist Knowledge: Decades of experience in complex cases, including high-net-worth divorces and international child custody disputes.
Tailored Solutions: We adapt strategies to your family’s unique needs, whether resolving parenting plans or untangling intricate finances.
Child-Focused: Our mediators are trained in child-inclusive mediation, ensuring young voices are heard.
95% Success Rate: The majority of our clients reach full or partial agreements without court.
Integrated Legal Advice: Access in-house family solicitors to review agreements or draft consent orders.
Post-Mediation Assistance: Support with implementation, including variations to orders as circumstances change.
Fixed Fees: Clear pricing with no hidden costs
Flexible Options: In-person, virtual, or hybrid sessions across the UK.
Mediation may be inappropriate in cases involving:
Domestic Abuse: If there’s a history of coercion or fear, the court may be safer.
Severe Power Imbalances: Where one party cannot negotiate freely.
Non-Disclosure: If assets or income are deliberately hidden.
We conduct thorough assessments to ensure mediation is safe and viable.
At eLegal Consultants, we believe families deserve resolutions that protect relationships, prioritise children, and uphold dignity. Our mediators combine legal expertise with empathy to guide you toward a fair, sustainable outcome.
As our name suggests, we offer you the best comprehensive legal solution online and offline.
