PROVIDING QUALITY FAMILY AND CHILD INCLUSIVE MEDIATIOn
We offer a confidential and impartial service to support you and your family in navigating separation and divorce.
The First Step
Communicating when a relationship breaks down can be extremely challenging. Talking about the children, money and property is not only stressful, but can be scary. Mediation is an alternative way to have these conversations. Mediation provides a safe and neutral space and supports practical future-thinking discussions.
We understand the first step can be the most difficult, and that's why we believe a MIAM is the best place to start.
A Meditation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) is your first step and is required even if you are considering making an application to court. The courts now expect you to meditate where appropriate and to seriously attempt to resolve things out of court.
We offer one-to-one confidential MIAM appointments where you can discuss the option of mediation and share information. Meditation is a voluntary process so you can decide if it's the right option for you.
Your mediator will aim to get a better understanding of your situation, provide you with information about joint mediation sessions and share legal information about your situation and separation in general.
If joint mediation feels like the right step for you, we will contact your ex-partner or family member.
