The Ministry of Justice, which is rolling out the scheme, said 70 per cent of couples who used the service settled their rows out of court.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Courts Minister, Lord Wolfson QC, said: \u201cMediation is often a quicker, cheaper and less stressful way of resolving disputes, which helps separating couples reach amicable agreements without an unnecessary and often acrimonious court process.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur new scheme will open up the benefits of these services to even more families \u2013 sparing them the stress of long legal battles, while also helping to lessen the pressure on our family courts as we recover from the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ministers are stumping up \u00a31million to give the vouchers to 2,000 families to help them with mediation costs.<\/p>\n

They hope the scheme will help ease pressure on England\u2019s creaking family courts, which have a massive backlog of cases because of Covid lockdowns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Under the scheme, couples will talk through their problems with a trained mediator who will help them thrash out a custody deal rather than leaving it to a judge.<\/p>\n

John Taylor, chairman of the Family Mediation Council said: \u201cIt will help separated families agree solutions that are best for their children, taking into account what is going to be important for them as they grow up.<\/p>\n

\u201cFamily mediation is a proven cost-effective way to resolve differences following separation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis voucher scheme will make it even more accessible, and will help families resolve issues for themselves, without having to go to court.\u201d<\/p>\n
