Online MIAM in Manchester - Court-Accepted in Hours

A MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting) is a short, confidential meeting with a qualified family mediator. It’s the first step in resolving family disputes without going to court. During the session, the mediator explains the mediation process and assesses whether mediation is suitable for your situation. You must attend a MIAM before applying to the family court for issues such as child arrangements or financial settlements, unless you’re exempt.

Yes. A MIAM certificate costs £35 and is added to your booking during checkout.

The total cost is £120, which includes:

• £95 for your MIAM session with a qualified professional mediator.

• £35 for the MIAM certificate.

When you attend a MIAM through Digital MIAM, the mediator explains how family mediation works, listens to your concerns, and assesses whether mediation or another method is appropriate. If there are safety concerns - such as domestic abuse - the mediator will assess for risk. At the end of the MIAM, you’ll be informed of the best next steps based on your situation.

On completing your MIAM, if your mediator deems mediation to be unsuitable in your case, you can request they provide you with the relevant court certificate. Once the mediator signs the form, your certificate is available to download securely from your Digital MIAM dashboard. Typically, certificates are available within an hour of the MIAM session, but please confirm this with your mediator at the end of the MIAM.
