What is Family Mediation?
Family mediation is designed to help ex-partners find practical, lasting solutions without the stress and expense of going to court. Typical items we help with include:
- Child arrangements & parenting plans
- Division of finances, savings, or debts
- Property & asset decisions
Our Cheltenham mediators are impartial and supportive. They won’t take sides – instead, they’ll help you and your ex-partner talk openly, reduce conflict, and reach decisions that make sense for your family.

How Our Mediation Service Works
We keep things simple with three clear steps:
Step 1 – Free Consultation
Book your free consultation (pre-MIAM call). This lets us understand your situation and check if mediation is right for you.
Step 2 – MIAM Appointment
Schedule your MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting). Our Cheltenham team will explore your key items and prepare you for your mediation session.
Step 3 – Joint Mediation Session
You and your ex-partner attend sessions together, guided by a mediator. You’ll discuss your concerns and work towards a written agreement that both of you can move forward with.
What’s Included in Our Service
When you use our Cheltenham family mediation service, you’ll also receive:
- Written summaries of joint meetings (where useful)
- A “Mediation Preparation Guide” to help you feel ready
- A dedicated mediator to manage your case throughout
- Written agreements based on your joint decisions
Same Day MIAM Appointments
In cases where a MIAM Certificate is required urgently we may be able to offer you a same-day MIAM appointment.
We only have a small amount of these appointments available and they do fill quickly.

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.”
Tim A
“We recently used AMS and they were brilliant. The team always made everything clear and easy to understand. They worked hard to fit in with our schedule and when half way through we needed the documents drafted quicker than expected they really stepped up and got it all completed in record time. I can’t thank the team enough for your professional, friendly and efficient service, at such a difficult and stressful time.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can mediation help if we don’t have children?
Yes. Mediation can also help with financial or property matters during separation.
Do I need a MIAM certificate before applying to court?
In most cases, yes. You’ll need to attend a MIAM before submitting a court application (Form A or C100), unless your case qualifies for an exemption.
