Trying to avoid court – or need a MIAM certificate to move things forward? Get your MIAM appointment, certificate, and two free mediation sessions (if suitable) – plus a 30-minute strategy call with our team to get you prepared. No jargon. No stress. Just sorted.
Whether you’re trying to avoid court or preparing to apply for a Child Arrangements Order, sorting your MIAM shouldn’t feel like a headache. We make the process easy. It starts with a strategy call with our team – so you understand how the MIAM fits into your case and what to expect. We then book your appointment with a qualified mediator, online and at a time that suits you.
If the other party agrees to try mediation, you’ll get two free sessions through the government voucher scheme. If not, your MIAM certificate will be issued so you can move ahead with your court application. No jargon. No chasing forms. One clear, joined-up service that handles everything – start to finish.
The MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting) is a required step before applying to court for most child arrangements or family law matters. It’s a chance to explore whether mediation could resolve the issue – and if not, it’s how you get the certificate needed to begin legal proceedings.
For many dads, it’s another confusing step in an already stressful process. Who books it? What happens during the meeting? How do you get the certificate? We make it simple. You’ll have a private one-on-one with a qualified mediator to talk through your situation and assess whether mediation is suitable. If it’s not suitable – or the other person refuses – you’ll be issued a MIAM certificate and can apply to court.
Most dads don’t just want a random mediator appointment – they want to understand what’s happening and why. That’s exactly what our MIAM support is designed for. We guide you through the whole process clearly and calmly – so you’re not left guessing.
Here’s how it works:
Before anything else, you’ll speak to one of our team. We’ll talk through your situation, explain how MIAMs work, and help you decide if mediation is worth trying – or if court might be the likely next step.
We’ll connect you with one of our trusted, accredited partner mediators – online, fast, and flexible. Your 60-minute MIAM appointment will be private and confidential. The mediator will assess if mediation is appropriate and explain your next steps.
If both parties agree to mediate, you’ll get two free 90-minute sessions via the Government’s voucher scheme. If mediation isn’t suitable, breaks down, or the other person refuses – your MIAM certificate will be issued, allowing you to apply to court.
Most dads aren’t just confused about the MIAM – they’re unsure how it fits into the bigger picture. We help you make sense of it all. From working out if mediation is even worth trying, to making sure you walk away with your MIAM certificate when you need it – Our job is to take the stress out of the process – and make sure you get what you need without delay.
