- We release a signed Form A (for finances), C100 (for parenting) or both, which allows you, or your solicitor, to file an application with the court
- You will receive this form within 24 hours of your Urgent MIAM
- We will also contact the other party within 24 hours to invite them to mediation (unless there are exceptional circumstances)
- International coverage – anywhere in the world

INVITING THE OTHER PARTY
There is a presumption that the other party will be invited to mediation. You can still conduct an Urgent MIAM if you do not want them invited, but we will need to record the reasons why. The judge may also want to understand your reasons if your matter goes to court.
If your MIAM lasts for less than 45 minutes, we need to record the reasons why.
What is a MIAM?
A MIAM is a Mediation Information & Assessment Meeting. We will ask you about your situation and discuss with you how mediation works. This should enable you to make a decision on whether family mediation is something you would like to do.
We also need to give you a lot of information to qualify the meeting as a MIAM.
Sometimes, the mediator may decide mediation is not suitable for your case but this is rarely done without first holding a MIAM with the other party.
Even if you do not wish to mediate on your situation, you will usually need to attend a MIAM.
Do I need a MIAM?
In most cases yes! If you are asking the court to make a decision on a financial matter or a parenting issue you will need to provide evidence to the court that you have had a MIAM.
In some instances, a MIAM is not required and we can advise you on this before you book your meeting, or take a look at our blog here:
