Why Do a MIAM – Family Mediation Solihull

A MIAM, or Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting, is an initial meeting that parties attend before entering into the mediation process. Here are five reasons why attending a MIAM can be beneficial:

  1. Understanding the mediation process: A MIAM allows individuals to gain a clear understanding of what mediation entails. The mediator explains the process, its benefits, and what can be expected during the sessions. This helps participants feel informed and prepared.

  2. Exploring alternatives to court: A MIAM provides an opportunity to explore alternatives to going to court. Mediation offers a more collaborative and cooperative approach to resolving disputes, allowing parties to find mutually agreeable solutions without the need for costly and time-consuming litigation.

  3. Assessing suitability for family mediation Solihull: During the MIAM, the mediator assesses whether mediation is a suitable option for the specific dispute. They consider factors such as the nature of the conflict, the willingness of both parties to participate, and any power imbalances. This assessment helps determine if mediation is appropriate or if other avenues should be pursued.

  4. Clarifying concerns and goals: The MIAM allows individuals to express their concerns and goals regarding the dispute. This open discussion helps the mediator understand the issues at hand and guides them in tailoring the family mediation Solihull process to address those concerns effectively.

  5. Encouraging voluntary participation: Attending a MIAM is a voluntary step towards participating in mediation. It gives individuals the opportunity to make an informed decision about whether they wish to engage in the process. The mediator can answer any questions or concerns, ensuring that all parties enter mediation willingly and with a clear understanding of its benefits.

Family’s are deeply affected by divorce or separation, especially when there are children in the family. Often these painful situations can be helped with the supportof a mediator who will hold a  Mediation Information Assessment Meeting or MIAM. A MIAM can guide communication and set the tone for the goals of mediation.

When attending a court proceeding on the matter, the family will need to present an FM1 (Family Mediation 1 form) which confirms that a MIAM has been held.

As of April 2014, significant changes were made to the judicial system regarding separation and divorces, particularly where children were involved. These changes ensure that the welfare of the children is paramount, with minimal impact on the children and as little negativity as possible. One of the major changes was a requirement for a mediation session or MIAM to be attended before any court proceedings to do with financial or custody matters (hence the need for a FM1 to be produced).

If the split is acrimonious and both parties find it difficult to be in the same room, as would happen with face to face mediation, it is possible to ask for shuttle mediation.

Shuttle sessions happen when the two parties are seated in separate rooms either virtually or physically and the mediator shuttles between the two, discussing issues and offering solutions.

Shuttle mediation is often a good solution with distance between the parties allowing for rational and reasoned thinking.

MIAMS Mediators can also help with will disputes: resolving issues between and coming to an acceptable compromise to the conflict that arises as a result of separation.
