Mediation for families in Luton
Luton has a large airport, a lot of shift work and a commuter line into London, and families here often need mediation that works around rotas rather than office hours. We hold sessions online, including evenings and Saturdays, so that a night-shift or early-start parent can take part without swapping a day.
The family court for Luton is the Luton Justice Centre in Arndale House, Luton Point. It expects a MIAM before an application about children or money. We hold them online within days and issue the certificate, accepted there and at every other family court in England and Wales.

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.
