A MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting) is a mandatory, 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.

Do you charge extra for a MIAM certificate?

No. The MIAM certificate is included in the cost of your Digital MIAM session.

What happens at a MIAM?

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.

How quickly can I get my MIAM certificate?

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.

Disputes around where children spend time, school schedules, contact patterns and holiday agreements.

Long-Distance or Travel-Heavy Parenting

Particularly common for parents travelling between Greater Manchester boroughs or between Manchester and nearby cities such as Leeds or Liverpool.

Financial & Housing Disputes

Including mortgage responsibilities, property ownership, living arrangements and financial disclosure.

High-Conflict Separation Cases

Where communication has broken down or urgent action is required.
