What is Family Mediation?
Family mediation is a process that helps separating couples have open, guided conversations with the support of a qualified mediator. It is designed to help you:
- Agree on child arrangements and parenting plans
- Work out how to divide finances and property
- Avoid unnecessary conflict and court costs
Our Birmingham mediators provide a safe and neutral environment where both sides can be heard. Instead of arguments going round in circles, mediation focuses on solutions that make sense for your family’s future.

How Our Mediation Service Works
We keep our service simple and easy to follow:
Step 1 – Free Consultation
Book a free consultation and pre-MIAM call. This helps us understand your situation and confirm whether mediation is right for you.
Step 2 – MIAM Appointment
Schedule your MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting). This is where our Birmingham mediators will explore the main issues and prepare for your joint sessions.
Step 3 – Joint Sessions
Attend joint sessions with your ex-partner. With your mediator present, you’ll work through key issues and move towards a written agreement that works for both of you.
What You’ll Receive With Our Service
Choosing our Birmingham family mediation service means you’ll also get:
Written summaries of your joint sessions (where helpful)
- A “Mediation Preparation Guide” to help you feel ready
- A dedicated mediator who manages your case from start to finish
- Written agreements tailored to your family’s situation
Same Day MIAM Appointments
Need a MIAM certificate quickly? In many cases we can offer same-day MIAM appointments. Sometimes we can even combine your pre-assessment and MIAM into one session.
Spaces fill up fast, so we recommend booking early to secure a convenient time.

What Our Clients Say
“When it came to the day of mediation, I felt understood, confident and as if the outcome would be positive. Without their help in preparing me for the mediation, I don’t feel the outcome would have been as positive as it was.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need children to use mediation?
No. Mediation can also help with financial settlements, property division and other matters after separation.
Do I need a MIAM certificate before going to court?
In most cases, yes. Attending a MIAM is a legal requirement before applying to court for family issues (Form A or C100), unless your case qualifies for an exemption.
