When any relationship breaks down, communication can be extremely challenging; talking about your children, money and property is not only stressful but can feel scary. Mediation is an alternative way to have conversations, as it is a safe and neutral space and supports practical future-thinking discussions. It supports you in exploring realistic options that support your family.
We understand the first step can be the most difficult, so a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) is the best place to start.
A (MIAM) is your first step and is required even if you are considering applying to the court, as you will need to obtain a C100 certificate if mediation is not suitable. The court expects that, where appropriate, you attempt to resolve things outside of court.
Your MIAM is a 1-1 confidential appointment. In your MIAM, you can discuss the option of mediation and find out more about it. You can ask the questions and share any concerns.
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.
If it is agreed that a joint mediation feels like the right step for you, we will contact your ex-partner or family member.
Meditation is a voluntary process, so you can decide if it's the right option for you.
What Su says: "When we can't agree we have to try and find a way forward. I think mediation helps people catch their breath and get support to have conversations about moving forward. A MIAM helps people work out if mediation is right for them"
