MIAM – Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting

Most families are required to attend a MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting) before applying to court.

During this meeting, we explain how mediation works, assess suitability, and discuss the next steps. MIAM appointments are available for clients across Windsor and Berkshire.

Supporting Families Across Windsor and Berkshire

Windsor and the surrounding areas are home to busy families balancing work, parenting, and life changes.

Family mediation offers a constructive process to discuss practical arrangements calmly, while allowing clients to continue receiving legal advice.

Many families in Windsor and nearby areas like Eton, Datchet, Old Windsor, Ascot, and Maidenhead benefit from this approach, achieving agreements that are workable and sustainable.

How the Family Mediation Process Works

1. Initial MIAM Meeting

Each person attends a confidential meeting with the mediator to discuss the situation and assess whether mediation is suitable.

2. Mediation Sessions

Joint mediation sessions are arranged to discuss the key issues that need resolution.

3. Recording Agreements

Once agreements are reached, the mediator prepares a summary document outlining the proposals.

4. Legal Advice and Formalisation

Agreements can be reviewed by solicitors and formalised through the legal process if required, ensuring they are legally binding.
