If you are unhappy in your marriage and considering divorce, the typically high cost of legal fees can seem like a significant obstacle. Instead of immediately seeking an expensive lawyer to handle your case, it’s worth exploring the option of family mediation services. Mediation offers a cost-effective and cooperative way to address disputes and reach agreements without the financial and emotional toll of court proceedings.

At Aspire Mediation our experienced team can handle a wide variety of  types of family disputes, from disagreements between co-parents and ex partners to potential arguments with wider family members over child access arrangements, even if you have an issue that does not involve divorce, our professional team of experts is  ready and willing helping you solve the problem together.

The first step is to arrange a MIAM session.

MIAM sessions are short meetings, arranged by speaking to our team,(mediation Information Assessment Meeting)that provides you with details about mediation and its’s goals to resolve disputes and helping you come to an agreement. Using a mediation expert is self referred and voluntary and so this means you don’t nee to waste time and money searching for solicitor or lawyer before disputes escalate and once mediation has taken place you are still able to proceed to court if still needed.

The court specify now that couples in dispute should attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) in most cases before court. Legal Aid is potentially able to  cover the family mediation cost if you qualify and our team are able to offer advice on how to apply.  The Family Mediation Voucher Scheme has been extended until March 2025 and this can also be an option should you meet the requirements.

The beauty of mediation is its flexibility. It is an open-ended process where you are in control of the number of meetings and the final outcome, you can even decide to end the process at any time if you do not wish to continue with mediation.
