Family Mediation

Are you facing Divorce or Separation and don’t know which way to turn?

Is it difficult trying to talk to your former partner about the things you know you have to discuss?

Are you concerned at the thought of paying high legal fees ?

Do you feel you are going to need help to make arrangements for your children or your property and finances?

How Plymouth Mediation can help you?

An opportunity for each person to meet individually with a mediator to discuss how mediation might help.

A place where both parties can meet on neutral ground with a trained and experienced mediator who will remain impartial

A process to sort out issues resulting from the breakdown of your relationship, such as arrangements for your children or your property and finances. Your children can be seen if both you and the mediator think it will help.

Mediation sessions are confidential at all times, unless it appears that a child or a third party is at risk of harm.

The Cost of Mediation

Mediation is an alternative to the legal process. However, mediation is not a substitute for legal advice. Our service recommends that clients obtain legal advice whenever necessary.

This service is a registered charity. We do not exclude people who are unable to pay. However, we hope for a donation in such cases if possible. If you are on a low income you may be eligible for public funding.

The total cost will depend upon the number of mediation session and this will be discussed at the initial interview.

COMMUNITY LEGAL SERVICE PUBLIC FUNDING

Clients in receipt of Income Support, Income Based Job Seekers Allowance or Guaranteed State Pension Credit automatically qualify for Community Legal Service Public Funding. Those on low income may qualify through assessment of means at the first interview. If your partner is eligible for funding, your initial interview is free of charge.
