    What is a MIAM?

    MIAMs are essential for most people who need to take a separation or divorce matter to court.

    We provide MIAMs (Mediation Information and Assessment Meetings) and are authorised to sign the relevant court application forms to confirm that you have considered or tried mediation. We provide free mediation through the Government Voucher Scheme.

    Having a separate individual meeting with your mediator before progressing to mediation gives you an opportunity to explain to the mediator the background to your situation and what you feel needs to be sorted out.

    Your mediator will explain how mediation can help you and other alternative dispute options that might be suitable. They will also check the best way of organising your mediation meeting to ensure everyone’s views are heard and understood.

    Courts now require you to attend a MIAM but, if after your MIAM you feel this isn’t going to be the best way forward for you, that is your choice – mediation is voluntary.

    A MIAM is £120, payable when your booking is confirmed. This includes any court forms. We do not offer Legal Aid but we offer a reduced rate of £48 if you are on a low income (more details here), please let us know if you would like to be considered for this on you booking request.
