Parties may agree the selection of a mediator themselves and when they do it is necessary to agree mediation fees with the appointed mediator.
Family mediation may not necessarily conclude after one session with the mediator, and therefore the parties must be prepared to attend additional sessions to reach a final agreed position if that is possible.
Should the parties be unable to agree the selection of a mediator, but wish to pursue mediation, then LSMS may be contacted to select a mediator and notify the parties thereafter.If the parties wish LSMS to make such an appointment please use this email address – ann.mcmahon@lawsoc-ni.org and provide contact details for both parties .
The fees for the mediation sessions will be agreed directly with the mediator.
Please be aware that there may be additional charges for room hire, travel etc.
