Mediation for families in Leicester
Leicester is a city where a separation often involves more than the two of you: parents, in-laws and wider family who have views about what is fair. Mediation does not shut them out so much as give you the room to decide for yourselves, with a neutral person keeping the conversation on the practical questions – the children, the home, the money.
The family court for Leicester is the Leicester County Court and Family Court on Wellington Street, which expects a MIAM first. We hold them online within days. Mediation is in English, Bengali or Hindi directly, and an interpreter can be arranged for Gujarati, Punjabi, Urdu and other languages.

Which court hears your case depends on where the children live, and the court confirms it when you apply. Before a C100 for children or a Form A for finances it expects a MIAM first, and our certificate is accepted at every family court in England and Wales. If proceedings have already started, mediation can run alongside them.
