Family Mediation & the Courts in London

What separating families in London and Greater London need to know about mediation and the court process.

Most Families Never Need to Go to Court

If you can reach agreements in mediation, you avoid contested court proceedings altogether — saving months of delay, significant legal costs, and a great deal of stress for everyone involved, especially your children.

The MIAM Requirement in England & Wales

Before applying to the family court for a child arrangements order (Form C100) or a financial order (Form A), you must first attend a MIAM — unless an exemption applies. Your mediator signs the certificate the court requires. MIAM certificates we issue are valid at every family court in England and Wales, including your local family court.

Making Your Agreement Legally Binding

An agreement reached in mediation can be drawn up as a Memorandum of Understanding and converted into a consent order by your solicitor — giving it the same legal force as a court order, usually without either of you attending a hearing.

Why Online

Why London Families Choose Online Mediation

The same professional service — without the journey into the city centre.

No Travel, No Parking, No Time Off Work

Join your session from home — no Tube journey, no congestion charge, no fighting across the city from your ex-partner's borough. Each of you joins from your own home, wherever in London you live. Early morning and evening appointments available.

Fully Recognised by the Courts

Online mediation carries exactly the same legal weight as in-person mediation. Your MIAM certificate and Memorandum of Understanding are accepted by every family court in England and Wales.

The £500 Government Voucher Still Applies

Online cases involving child arrangements are fully eligible for the government's £500 Family Mediation Voucher Scheme. We apply for this on your behalf after your MIAM — there is no separate application for you to complete.

FAQs

Family Mediation in London — Common Questions

Do we have to attend court in London if we mediate online?

No. Mediation takes place entirely outside the court system. If you do need a court order, applications are submitted online, and the court will let you know whether any hearing can be held by video call.

My ex-partner lives in a different London borough. Can we still mediate?

Yes — this is one of the main reasons London couples choose online mediation. Each of you joins from your own home, which removes travel and makes scheduling far easier. Shuttle mediation is also available if you prefer not to be on screen together.

Can we get Legal Aid for mediation in London?

Eligibility for Legal Aid is based on your financial circumstances, not your postcode. If you receive benefits such as Universal Credit, or have a low income, your MIAM and mediation sessions may be covered. Ask us to check your eligibility — it takes only a few minutes.
