Family Mediation South East

The South East covers Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and the Isle of Wight — a broad arc of the country where court locations and catchment areas can vary considerably from one area to the next.

Family court centres across the South East include Reading, Oxford, Guildford, Brighton, Maidstone and Portsmouth, among others. As in the rest of England and Wales, a MIAM is the required first step before most court applications — a private, one-to-one appointment with an accredited mediator to assess your options. Online mediation is available across the South East, making it straightforward to get started wherever in the region you are based, and the Government’s £500 voucher scheme and Legal Aid may reduce your costs significantly.
