About Us
A Safe Space to Find Solutions
At Family Mediate, we believe that families going through separation deserve a better way to resolve their disputes. Our role as a mediator is to remain completely impartial and help both parties communicate effectively, explore their options, and decide on arrangements that work for everyone, especially the children.
Mediation is faster, less stressful, and significantly more affordable than going to court. Most importantly, it puts you in control of the decisions that affect your family.

Is Mediation Right for You?
Answer a few simple questions about your situation. Whatever your circumstances, a MIAM is your essential first step.
Your First Step
What Is a MIAM?
A MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting) is a private, confidential meeting with a qualified family mediator. In most cases, you need a MIAM certificate before you can apply to court.
You attend a MIAM separately. The other person is not told that you have booked a MIAM. If they are contacted, this will only happen after your meeting has taken place.
The purpose of the meeting is to give you clear information and help you understand your options.
Attending a MIAM does not commit you to mediation. It is simply an opportunity to explore your options and decide what approach feels right for you and your family.
During a MIAM, the mediator will:
Explain how mediation works
Listen to your situation and the issues you want to resolve (such as child arrangements or finances)
Consider whether mediation is safe and appropriate in your circumstances
Answer any questions you may have about the process or alternative options
