Help with Mediation (Financial matters) from £195.00 plus VAT
If you attend mediation to try to resolve finances, but reach the stage where the finances have been identified but you do not know where you should settle, we will see you for one hour to look at your finances based on the information before us and then we will advise you where we believe your settlement could be. If you do not have all of the information needed to negotiate a fair settlement, we will tell you what you need. Any further costs would be confirmed to you at your meeting. You can return to mediation with an idea of what you need or what are entitled to.

If you return to mediation and reach a settlement, you can come back to us and for a fixed fee, we will embody the terms of your agreement in a binding consent order based on the information before us, draft all supporting documentation, take you through the documents, file them at Court when ready and let you have the approved version.
