When conflicts arise, finding a peaceful resolution is often fraught with emotional and legal challenges, particularly in matters close to the heart, such as family disputes. In the UK, mediation has become an increasingly popular method to resolve these issues amicably, avoiding the strain and expense of court proceedings. Mediation not only offers a path to understanding and agreement but also promotes healing by empowering individuals to control the outcome of their dispute.

A Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) serves as the first step in the mediation process. It’s a meeting (either face-to-face or online) with a trained mediator to discuss the nature of your dispute, whether mediation is suitable for your situation, and how the mediation process works, including costs and timeframes.
Attending a MIAM is now a legal requirement before applying to a UK court for a decision on family disputes, except in certain circumstances such as evidence of domestic violence or urgency
Choosing to attend a MIAM can often be the turning point in resolving a dispute. It offers several benefits:
Grandparents often play a vital role in children’s lives, yet they can find themselves sidelined during family disputes. Mediation offers a space to express their concerns and desires to maintain a relationship with their grandchildren, fostering a dialogue that acknowledges their meaningful contribution to the child’s life.
For parents navigating separation or divorce, mediation focuses on effective co-parenting arrangements, addressing everything from living arrangements to financial support. This cooperative approach helps lay the groundwork for a positive, ongoing relationship, crucial for the welfare of any children involved.
