Mediation services - first steps
£150

MIAM | Mediation Information & Assessment Meeting

The law states that you should attend a MIAM with a family mediator before you apply to the courts (unless you are exempt). A MIAM is an individual, confidential meeting between you and the mediator. The mediator will provide you with information about the mediation principles and procedures. You will also be assessed for your suitability for mediation services.

We also understand that life doesn’t always fit into a 9-to-5 schedule, so we offer flexible out-of-hours appointments, allowing you to choose what works best for you. Choose your appointment below...

A joint or separate meeting where the mediator will help you both to facilitate communication. The mediator is an independent and impartial third person who will help you to reach a mutually agreeable solution.

Documents

Once you have completed mediation, your agreements can be written up.

The mediator will produce a Memorandum Of Understanding, Open Financial Statement and/or Child Arrangements Plan. If these documents are then given to a solicitor, they can prepare any paperwork that is needed by the court and request that your agreement be turned into a legally binding court order.

What if I’d rather go to court?
The law says that you must show that you have at least considered mediation before you can take a case to court, unless there are special circumstances involved, like domestic violence.
Can a mediator give me a divorce?
No. You’ll need to legally end your marriage or civil partnership, but you won’t have to physically go to court for this. I can support you with the documents you will need to submit, and when to do that.
Do we have to pay for mediation?

Legal aid is available for mediation. This means that if you’re eligible, it might be free for you. I can show you where to go for eligibility checks.

Is mediation about trying to get us to stay together?
No. Mediators are not counsellors, and will not suggest you stay together.
I help you work out what happens when you split up.
