Secure your individual assessment meeting within 48 hours. Receive your certified Form C100 or Form A promptly if court proceedings are necessary.
Speak privately with an accredited family mediator. We explain your rights and never contact your former partner without your permission.
Under UK law, anyone wishing to apply to family court for a child arrangements order or financial settlement must first attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) with an authorized FMC-accredited mediator, unless an official statutory exemption applies.
Step-by-step guidance tailored to achieve practical resolution and meet official statutory standards.
Book your private assessment. You attend this initial meeting alone to discuss your circumstances in complete confidence without any pressure.
Your accredited mediator explains the mediation process, evaluates suitability, and screens for any safety, legal aid, or exemption requirements.
If you choose to proceed, we invite the other party with care. If mediation is not suitable or declined, your mediator signs the official court forms immediately.
Clear, practical benefits designed to protect family stability and save legal expenses.
