MIAM – Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting

Many family law cases require a MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting) before court applications.

During a MIAM, we explain how mediation works, assess suitability, and outline next steps. MIAM appointments are available for clients in Ascot and surrounding Berkshire areas.

How the Family Mediation Process Works

1. Initial MIAM Meeting

Each individual attends a confidential meeting to discuss their situation and determine whether mediation is appropriate.

2. Mediation Sessions

Joint sessions allow both parties to explore options, discuss key issues, and work toward practical agreements.

3. Recording Agreements

The mediator prepares summary documents reflecting the proposals discussed during mediation.

4. Legal Advice and Formalisation

Clients often review agreements with a solicitor. Agreements can then be formalised through the legal system if required.
