Service Description

Any person who wishes to bring a family matter before the court is expected to attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) before issuing court proceedings. There are some exceptions to this, which a solicitor will explain if it applies to you. The purpose of a MIAM is to offer clients a chance to consider what options are available for resolving their issues, and whether court proceedings are the best way for the family to deal with them. A MIAM is not mediation; rather it is a compulsory meeting to consider whether mediation or some other process would be the right way forward. MIAMs can be held in-person or remotely online.
