Legal Aid
SF&MS hold a contract with the Legal Aid Agency (LAA). We can provide legally aided mediation for clients who meet the LAA criteria for eligibility.
If you are in receipt of state benefits, such as Universal Credit, and you have little or no equity in property, then you might be eligible. If you are eligible for legal aid, then mediation will be free for the entirety of your case, barring a significant change of your circumstances.
If you are not eligible for legal aid, but the other party is, then your MIAM will be free of charge, as well as your first mediation session.
If you would like more information about the criteria, and to use the online eligibility calculator, click on the following link to the government site:
