Fees
This Center’s fees applicable to the Mediation Procedure for International Custody Disputes are as follows.
However, upon the Foreign Minister’s decision to assist under the Article 6 or Article 17 of the Implementing Law of the Hague Convention responding to one party’s petition for assistance, the Japanese Central Authority will pay these applicable fees directly to the Center and no party needs to make these payments.
However, there will be a limitation of the total amount of payments to the Center by the Japanese Central Authority and in that case these fees have to be paid by the parties.
