Family Mediation Liverpool: Book a Family Mediator Online

Family Mediation in Liverpool

Family mediation in Liverpool is a fixed-fee, out-of-court process where a trained, FMC-registered mediator helps separating and divorcing couples and parents agree arrangements for their children and finances — an agreement a solicitor can then make legally binding — without going to court. BookMIAM provides this online across Liverpool and Merseyside, by secure video call, on fixed fees (MIAM £100 per person).

Mediation is voluntary, confidential, and almost always faster and cheaper than going to court. You and your ex-partner stay in control of the outcome. The mediator does not take sides, give either of you legal advice, or decide who is right.

Your Family Mediator in Liverpool

Your mediator is Abdul Wahid, an FMA trained and FMC registered family mediator with over 10 years of experience in family and business mediation. All sessions are held online by video call, so you never need to travel to a mediation office in Liverpool.

Registration with the Family Mediation Council matters, and court forms that let you make a family court application in England and Wales are signed by a fully accredited FMC mediator working with our practice.

What Family Mediation in Liverpool Covers

• Child arrangements: where the children live, how time is shared, holidays, schooling, and handovers.
• Finances on divorce: the family home, savings, pensions, debts, and ongoing maintenance.
• Property and assets for unmarried couples who are separating.
• Reviewing an arrangement that already exists but has stopped working.

What Family Mediation Costs in Liverpool

Our fees are the same wherever you are in Merseyside, because every session is held online:

• MIAM: £100 per person. This is the first meeting, held individually.
• Mediation session: £180 per person for a 90-minute joint session.
• Court certificate: £40, if you need one to apply to court.

You may also be eligible for £500 towards the cost of mediation about children through the government scheme. See our £500 family mediation voucher guide to check.

How Online Family Mediation Works for People in Liverpool

There is no mediation office to travel to, no time off work, and no waiting room shared with your ex-partner.

1. Attend a MIAM: you and your ex-partner each attend a separate first meeting by video call.
2. Agree to mediate: if you both want to proceed, we book your first joint session.
3. Work through the issues: most families need between one and four sessions.
4. Record what you agreed: you receive a written summary that solicitors can turn into a legally binding order.

If you do not want to be in the same video call as your ex-partner, we can hold the session by shuttle mediation, where the mediator moves between two separate calls.

Do I Need a MIAM First?

Yes. Family mediation always begins with a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting. It is also the meeting the family court requires you to attend before most C100 or Form A applications. See our guide to what a MIAM is for the full detail, or check whether a MIAM exemption applies to you.
