Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about mediation in the UK and how we work.

Do I need to be a UK citizen to use this service?

No. Our service is designed specifically for international expats. Whether you are a US citizen, EU national, or from anywhere else, we can help.

Can we mediate if my spouse lives in a different country?

Absolutely. Because we work on Zoom, both parties can join from different countries simultaneously. This is one of the biggest advantages of our service.

Can mediation agreements become binding in the UK?

Yes. Once you reach a mediation agreement, you can work with a UK solicitor to formalize it into a consent order through the courts. We refer all legal drafting and court filing matters to qualified local attorneys.

How much does mediation cost?

$1,695 per person for a structured mediation session. The process is designed to help you prepare, focus the conversation, and leave with clearer next steps for agreement review and local filing questions.

Do you help with UK-specific issues like pensions?

We help you discuss and agree on all issues including UK pensions, property, and financial arrangements. For legal specifics about your situation, we recommend consulting with a UK family law solicitor.

What about child arrangements and support?

Yes. We help parents create sustainable parenting arrangements and discuss child support. For complex child matters, a family mediation specialist can provide guidance.

How flexible are scheduling options?

Very flexible. We offer early morning (US Eastern time) and late evening slots to accommodate different timezones comfortably.

Important: Mediation helps you reach agreements on the practical issues in your divorce. For legal matters such as drafting final documents, understanding jurisdiction-specific requirements, filing with courts, and ensuring compliance with UK family law, we recommend working with a qualified UK solicitor. Our role is to facilitate your agreement; legal and court filing matters require local legal expertise.
