General information only
The information on this website is general information about family mediation, separation and family law in England and Wales. It is provided in good faith to help you understand your options. It is not legal advice, and it is not tailored to your circumstances.
Mediation is not legal advice
Mediators are impartial. They help you and the other person reach your own decisions, and they do not act as a solicitor for either of you. If you need advice about your legal position, or about whether a proposed agreement is right for you, you should speak to a qualified legal adviser. Our sister company, Family Law Service, offers fixed-fee legal support, and you are always free to choose any adviser you wish.
Legal aid and vouchers
References to legal aid and the Family Mediation Voucher Scheme are for general guidance. Eligibility depends on an assessment of your circumstances, and funding rules can change. What applies in your case will be confirmed when you speak to us. London Mediation Service is part of Family Legal Ltd, which holds a contract with the Legal Aid Agency.
Case studies and reviews
Case studies on this site are illustrative. Names and identifying details are changed to protect confidentiality, and outcomes described are examples rather than a promise of what will happen in your case. Review figures are drawn from independent review platforms and were correct when published.
Accuracy
We review our content regularly and aim to keep it accurate and current. Family law, court fees and support services change, so we cannot guarantee that every page is complete or up to date at the moment you read it.
Our responsibility
Family Legal Ltd accepts no liability for loss or damage arising from reliance on the free information on this website. This does not affect our responsibilities in relation to mediation services you engage us for, which are covered by our terms and conditions, and it does not exclude any liability that cannot be excluded by law.
