During this first Joint Meeting we will go through the Agreement to Mediate and make sure we are all happy with it. We will then all sign that agreement as a social contract.   

We will also talk about the issues that you both wish to discuss and set your priorities and make a plan for dealing with them. If you want to talk about financial issues, then we will talk about gathering financial information.    

You can talk through any issues at all- about the house, pension, worries about how you will pay for outgoings, how you will share the contents of the house, what arrangements you want to make for any pets or for the children. They can be as broad brush or specific as they need to be and the whole process can be tailored to your family. Mediation can also be significantly more economical than using solicitors or the court process.  

At the end of this meeting you will be clear on the path forward for mediation and the next steps for gathering information. 

1.5 hour meeting plus .5 hour preparation @ £100 per hour per person, usual total cost of £400
