Relationship breakdown is frequently a stressful experience, made doubly so by financial uncertainties and arguments about property ownership.
At least in future, it is anticipated that the law will be changed to take the “fault” out of divorce.
Sadly, we do not do legal aid mediation cases. Our mediation services are entirely privately financed. If you need a mediator it will be likely to save you a great deal of money in the long term, however. A day’s mediation normally costs in the region of 1000.
Our lead mediator, Peter, sits as a deputy district judge dealing with First Appointments, Financial Dispute Resolution hearings and final hearings and so is well placed to advise as to a reasonable settlement outside Court.
