A MIAM, the first meeting you each have with a mediator, usually costs around £120 per person. Mediation sessions are typically £130 to £170 an hour per person. If your case involves a child, the government's Family Mediation Voucher Scheme can pay up to £500 towards the sessions, and you don't pay anything if either of you qualifies for legal aid. Our guide to what mediation costs and how the voucher works has a worked example.
