Trusted family mediation support

MIAMS Family Mediation Service

Clear, calm guidance to help you understand your options, meet court requirements, and move forward with more confidence.

A clearer and calmer way to begin before court

Going through a separation or divorce can understandably feel overwhelming, especially when significant decisions need to be made about children, finances and future arrangements.

Resolving these issues does not mean rushing into court. Family mediation offers a constructive way to explore possible solutions, and in many cases the process begins with a MIAM.

What Is a MIAM?

A MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting) is a private one-to-one appointment with a qualified neutral mediator. During the meeting, you can discuss your situation and learn more about the options available to you.

Importantly, a MIAM helps you understand whether mediation could help resolve the issues you are facing before deciding how to move forward.

In many family court applications, attending a MIAM is also a legal requirement before starting proceedings.

It is natural to have a lot of questions before you begin. To help make things clearer, we have created guidance about the MIAM process using our MIAMS Knowledge Hub.

We understand that cost is often a key concern
