Mediation is a voluntary process, involving qualified and impartial mediators. Every client who expresses an interest in mediation begins the process with an Information and Assessment meeting. A mediation information and assessment meeting (often called a MIAM) is a meeting with a family mediator, accredited with the Family Mediation Council, the aim of which is: To explore whether mediation would be a safe and effective process in the circumstances of your matter; and If court proceedings are being considered whether mediation could be an alternative to litigation in your particular circumstances; and To explain to you the alternatives to the court process available to separating or divorcing couples including mediation; and To provide you with neutral information about your legal and financial options; and To give you an opportunity to decide whether going to court would be the best way of resolving the issues surrounding your relationship or marriage breakdown (for example in respect of children, property and financial settlements).
