Our MIAM Services

The first stage in family mediation is the MIAM. This is the first meeting that you have with a mediator. The four letter stands for Mediation Information & Assessment Meeting. It is important to note that your former partner does not attend this meeting with you. This meeting can be done using Skype, FaceTime, or WhatsApp, which is easy to do, even if you are not a techie person! In this first meeting, you will have the opportunity to find out from a qualified family mediator how mediation works and the potential benefits. The mediator will also make an assessment as to whether mediation is appropriate for your personal situation. If mediation is not an option, the mediator is able to sign the appropriate court forms.
Legal Aid MIAM
Legal Aid is often available to those who are on a low income or on specific benefits, such as Universal Credit. To see if you qualify, speak to one of our team and ask for a free Legal Aid assessment. If you make a successful Legal Aid application, it will pay for your MIAM and mediation sessions going forward. In addition to this, it will also pay for the MIAM and first joint mediation session with your ex-partner. BOOK NOW

Early Morning/Evenings/Weekend Online MIAM £145
We understand that if you are at work, attending a MIAM can be difficult and taking time off work is expensive – that is why we offer online MIAMs on an evening and at weekends. This allows you to have an appointment that works for you. We also have early morning appointments starting at 7am if you want to do your online MIAM before your day starts. BOOK NOW
Online MIAM within an hour £180
We understand that sometimes only the MIAM certificate is needed to complete a court application form and that is why we offer the 1-hour express service. You can be in your lawyer’s office, at work or at home and we can deliver your MIAM online to you. Immediately after the MIAM we will email your certificate, so you can make that court application.
