MIAMs: Mediation Information & Assessment Meeting
A Mediation Information Assessment Meeting (MIAM) is a necessary step for anyone who is considering making a family court application in a matter such as child arrangements and the financial claims arising from a divorce or dissolution. It provides an opportunity to consider the options of, for example, resolving the problem through mediation, arbitration or neutral evaluation, or going through the court process. While it’s not a requirement to reach an agreement through mediation, it is a requirement to attend a MIAM prior to submitting an application to the Single Family Court for most people.
