Resolve Family Disputes With Confidence and Clarity

At EH Mediation, we help families in the UK find practical, compassionate solutions without the cost, delay, and emotional stress of court proceedings. Our experienced mediators specialise in family mediation, guiding separating couples through discussions on child arrangements, finances, property, and more — all in a confidential, neutral setting.

A key first step in this process is the MIAM Assessment Cheltenham — a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting — which many family members need before applying to the family court.

What are MIAM Assessments Cheltenham?

A MIAM is the first private meeting. Its purpose is:

Explain how family mediation works
Explain your decisions about avoiding court to resolve legal matters
How to know if mediation is right for you
Explain costs, availability of legal help and next steps

Unless they qualify for an exemption, most applicants to the family court in England and Wales for orders relating to children or finances are required to attend a MIAM before making an application.

We can offer legal aid to individuals who meet the criteria. Our team of mediators is part of the Family Mediation Council. You can see the cost of a MIAM here. Our MIAM assessments are held online, making the process accessible and flexible for your needs.

MIAM Assessments Cheltenham Process

1. Booking Your MIAM

We start with a straightforward communication to book your evaluation at a convenient time.

2. Initial MIAM Meeting

This session is to cover your situation, explain the mediation process and answer any questions.

3. Assessment and Next Steps

We’ll assess whether mediation is a suitable option for your dispute and explain the choices available. If required, we will issue your MIAM certificate, which you may need for court applications.

Our family mediation service is private and impartial. Shuttle mediation in separate rooms is possible for cases of domestic abuse. Our family mediators can also accept the family mediation voucher scheme while it is still active. We can discuss this with you fully to help cover the costs.

MIAM Assessments Cheltenham Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does MIAM stand for?

MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting). It is the first step in determining whether mediation will work for you, and it’s often a prerequisite for family court applications.

Do I have to attend a MIAM?

Yes — unless you qualify for an exemption — before applying to the family court for orders relating to children or finances, you are generally required to attend a MIAM.

Can a MIAM be done online?

Yes. At EH Mediation, we offer MIAMs through secure online meetings for your convenience.

How long does a MIAM take?

A typical MIAM lasts around 30–60 minutes, although this can vary depending on your circumstances.

What happens after my MIAM?

After your assessment, we will advise on the best next steps — whether that’s proceeding with joint mediation sessions or issuing an MIAM certificate if you wish to apply to court.

Is MIAM the same as mediation?

No. A MIAM is an initial information and assessment meeting to explore mediation. If both parties agree, you can then proceed to joint mediation sessions to work toward a settlement.
