Voucher Scheme

The Family Mediation Voucher Scheme is a Government funded programme available throughout England and Wales, helping separating families resolve disputes outside of court. It offers financial aid to cover some mediation costs with a focus on issues related to separation, divorce, and child arrangements.

While the Family Mediation Voucher Scheme has a time limit, the government can still contribute up to £500 towards your mediation costs if you qualify. Here’s what makes you eligible:

  • Issues involving children: You’re dealing with a disagreement or legal application regarding a child.
  • Financial matters tied to children: You have a dispute or application concerning finances related to a child.
  • Mutual agreement: Both parties involved must agree to participate in mediation.

 

Paying Privately

If you don’t qualify for the Family Mediation Voucher Scheme, then family mediation sessions are a private, paid-for service. Often each participant will pay for their own mediation fees.
