Start your MIAM
A MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting) is the first step before most family court applications in England and Wales. Start your MIAM by contacting one of our two preferred service providers.

Our relationship with these providers
The Family Mediation Project is run by Ark Mediation and Digital MIAM. Our guides are written to be impartial and are edited by an FMC-accredited mediator. You can use any FMC-registered mediator, or start with one of our two preferred providers.
Choosing your own mediator
You do not have to use either provider. Any mediator registered with the Family Mediation Council (FMC) can carry out a MIAM. Our guide explains how to find an FMC-registered mediator.
