Online family mediation for Liverpool and Merseyside. FMC registered mediator, £100 MIAM, sessions by video call.

Updated 2 May 2026

Family Mediation in Liverpool

Family mediation helps separating couples in Liverpool reach their own agreements about children, property, and money, without handing those decisions to a judge. BookMIAM provides family mediation to people across Merseyside, delivered online by secure video call.

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: only an FMC registered mediator can sign the court forms that let you make a family court application in England and Wales.

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.

Areas We Cover

Because mediation is held by video call, we work with families across Merseyside.

This includes Liverpool and Sefton, as well as Knowsley, St Helens, and the Wirral.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer family mediation in Liverpool in person?

No, all BookMIAM sessions are held online by secure video call. This means the same FMC registered mediator and the same court-valid MIAM certificate, without needing to travel to an office in Liverpool.

Can I get a MIAM certificate signed for a C100 application in Liverpool?

Yes. Your mediator can sign the relevant section of your C100 or Form A after your MIAM, whichever family court in Merseyside your case is going to.

Is mediation cheaper than a solicitor in Liverpool?

Yes, significantly. A MIAM is a fixed £100 per person, and a full mediation case typically costs a small fraction of contested solicitor-led proceedings.
