If you ask a solicitor whether a fixed price for a divorce is possible they might not necessarily be able to give you a clear answer.
In some ways this is an honest assessment. It is not always possible at the outset to know the legal costs that are involved in a court trial.
New issues, and avenues for discussion, can arise, which can extend the time (and associated costs) of divorce proceedings.
It is estimated that the legal costs of a divorce are in the region of £20,000.
In comparison, the advantage of mediation is that it is possible to achieve a divorce settlement on a reasonable budget. Our costs for mediation are below and start at just £120.00 per person per hour. You are also may be eligible for financial support toward your mediation with Legal Aid or the Family Mediation Voucher Scheme. Speak to our mediators to learn more about these schemes and to find out if you qualify.
As mediation is often much cheaper than legal proceedings, you might consider that it must be an inferior solution however this is far from the case. Rather, mediation is a flexible solution to your issues. Our mediators will take you through the process from an initial meeting, where we discuss whether mediation is for you, through to a series of meetings which will end with you agreeing on matters which are disputed with your ex-partner. Mediation is a very flexible process where you decide upon the issues that are to be discussed, and how you are going to resolve them.
With mediation, there are no hidden or secret costs.
You will be informed of the cost of every meeting in advance and you can track how much you are spending on the sessions. We offer private mediation services and have an excellent track record in achieving successful resolutions.
