A MIAM, or Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting, is a legal requirement in the UK for anyone considering court action to resolve disputes about children or finances after a separation or divorce. It's an initial meeting where you discuss your situation with a trained family mediator to see if mediation could help resolve the issues without going to court.
During the MIAM, the mediator explains the mediation process, assesses whether it’s suitable for your case, and gives you information on other options available for dispute resolution. The goal is to encourage communication and agreement outside of the courtroom, which can save time, money, and stress.
There are some situations where MIAM attendance is not required, like in cases of domestic abuse or urgent matters involving child protection.
A MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting) offers parents a confidential space to discuss issues and explore alternatives to court.
This approach saves time, reduces costs, and minimises emotional stress. By promoting cooperative decision-making, MIAMs help parents prioritise their children’s well-being and foster healthier, long-term co-parenting relationships.
A MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting) offers a safe, supportive space where you can explore options for resolving issues in a constructive way.
