Solicitors' Information

Download Our Solicitors Referral Form Click Here

We are able to take referrals for all issues, principally children, property and finance. All our mediators are authorised by the Family Mediation Council to undertake Mediation Information and Assessment Meetings (MIAM).

We aim to work in a complementary relationship with clients’ solicitors, within the appropriate boundaries of confidentiality. We directly inform solicitors when mediation starts, when we have asked clients to seek legal advice and at the conclusion. We always encourage clients to instruct their own family lawyers and we routinely provide any unrepresented client with details of family lawyers who work with us.

Our mediators have undertaken qualifying training for meeting with children. In all cases where it is considered the children’s views should be sought, we meet with the parents first, before setting up appointments with children.

You can download our referral form for S.11 referrals, following the link. For all other referrals, you are welcome to use our form, write to us, telephone us or give our contact details to your clients.

Court Forms

Form A is an application (Form A) for a Financial Order

this can be issued by either party to a divorce

  1. There is a form to complete and a Court fee to pay

  2. The Court issues the application

  3. Automatically makes an order for documents to be prepared by both sides;

  4. Lists the matter for a First Appointment in 12 to 16 weeks time;

  5. And sends copies of all the paperwork to the Respondent to the application within 5 days.

If there is an application for a transfer of property order or for pension provision, the Applicant also has to arrange service on any Building Society or Pension Provider.

As part of this application, the Ministry of Justice requires the applicant to have considered mediation. With certain exceptions, this includes having met with a mediator and discussed the possibility of resolving financial issues through mediation.

Our mediators are accredited to be able to sign the certificate in Form A certifying that the requirement has been met.

A C100 form is the form used to apply to the courts for a contact or residency order for children

Usually the courts expect mediation to be attempted first (although this is not necessary if there has been evidenced domestic violence), but mediation can be a good way to sort out any issues with contact.

As part of this application, the Ministry of Justice requires the applicant to have considered mediation. With certain exceptions, this includes having met with a mediator and discussed the possibility of resolving child issues through mediation.

Our mediators are accredited to be able to sign the certificate in Form C100 certifying that the requirement has been met.
