What is Family Mediation?
Family mediation is a constructive way to resolve disputes without the stress and cost of going to court. With guidance from a mediator, you and your ex-partner can:
- Agree on child arrangements and parenting plans
- Decide how to divide money, savings, and debts
- Make decisions about property and assets
Our Staffordshire mediators work across the county – including Stafford, Stoke-on-Trent, Lichfield, Cannock, Burton-upon-Trent, and Tamworth – supporting families through separation in a calmer and more balanced way.

How Our Mediation Service Works
We’ve kept our process simple, with three clear steps:
Step 1 – Free Consultation
Book your free consultation and pre-MIAM call. This allows us to understand your circumstances and confirm that mediation is suitable.
Step 2 – MIAM Appointment
Attend your MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting). This is where our Staffordshire team will explore your key issues and prepare for your joint sessions.
Step 3 – Joint Sessions
With your mediator’s support, you and your ex-partner meet to discuss your challenges and work towards a written agreement.
What You’ll Receive With Our Staffordshire Mediation Service:
Alongside your mediation sessions, you’ll also receive:
- Written summaries of joint discussions (where useful)
- A “Mediation Preparation Guide” to help you feel confident
- A dedicated mediator to manage your case throughout
- Written agreements tailored to your situation
Same Day MIAM Appointments
Need a MIAM certificate quickly? In many cases, we can offer same-day MIAM appointments. Sometimes we can even arrange both your pre-assessment and MIAM in one session.
Appointments are in high demand, so book early to secure your preferred 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.”
