Legal Aid Services
Thames Valley FMS offers family mediation services and is contracted with the Legal Aid Agency to provide free mediation to those who are eligible.
Here are details of what they offer and how legal aid applies:
- What they do: They help families and couples through separation/divorce, issues around children (parenting arrangements), finances, property matters, and drawing up agreements when relationships break down—all with the mediator acting as a neutral facilitator.
- Venues: They operate from several venues, including their Slough mediation centre at Regal Court, plus sites in Amersham, Aylesbury, Beaconsfield, Bracknell, High Wycombe, Maidenhead, Reading, Uxbridge. They offer both in-person and video/online mediation.
- Legal Aid eligibility: If a client is eligible for Legal Aid, the mediation is free for them. For the other party, there may be reduced fees depending on their income.
- Costs if not under Legal Aid: If not eligible, there is a fee structure based on income. The first session (MIAM – Mediation Information & Assessment Meeting) costs around £115 per person including the MIAM certificate if needed. Subsequent mediation sessions are charged per persons based on income band.
- They also run a voucher scheme: mediation vouchers (worth up to £500) are available for qualifying cases. This helps reduce financial barriers for family mediation.
