What is Family Mediation?
Going through separation or divorce? It can be extremely difficult, uncomfortable and inflammatory when you’re trying to communicate with your ex-partner, especially regarding seeing your children, child maintenance, new partners meeting children, division of assets including the family home and pensions, and how both households will manage finances going forward.
Our specialist trained mediators understand how difficult this time is for you and your family. We’ve refined and simplified our process to remove unnecessary stress, enabling you and your ex-partner to focus on the issues you really need to agree on.
Family Mediation is also available for those on the outside of a separation/divorce including grandparents and step-parents.

Step 1

What you get:
- An expert family mediator who can provide you with information specific to your situation

Why Choose Access Mediation Services for Online Mediation?
More convenient than court or face-to-face mediation with faster appointment availability:t
Convenient & Speedy
More convenient than going to court or even face to face mediation. We have more available appointments for online mediation than face to face appointments and you will therefore be appointed a mediator more quickly.
Focus is on Team-work
You and your ex-partner working as a team is much more effective than you working against each other. A joint agreement is more likely to be created and maintained this way.
Promotes Effective Communication
Family mediation supports you and your ex-partner to express your thoughts to each other. The mediator will ensure that you are not interrupted and are able to freely provide how you feel.
Same-day MIAM appointments available
We have a limited number of same day MIAM appointments available. Please call us on 01905 330055 to find out the slots that are available.
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 had Ryan as a mediator, he was understanding, patient, professional and very easy to talk to. If you are thinking about it don’t hesitate. Couldn’t recommend enough.”

Common Questions About Online Family Mediation
What happens if me and my ex-partner do not reach an agreement?
In the instances where people don’t reach an agreement, there are other options. Either you can choose to discuss it between yourselves outside of mediation, communicate via solicitors, leave the issue, or take the issue to court.
In most instances people wishing to go to court will need to have a MIAM Certificate signed by a mediator.
Is Family Mediation regulated?
What is Family Mediation?
Family Mediation is where a trained family mediator helps you and your-ex partner to discuss issues arising from your separation or divorce. This can include child arrangements, finances and assets or both. You would first attend a Mediation Information Assessment Meeting (MIAM), where you and the mediator will explore whether mediation is appropriate for your situation, they will also want to gain an understanding as to why you have come to mediation as well as providing you with more information about the process. This meeting you would attend alone. The mediator would then write out to your ex-partner to invite them to the process.
If you would like to book your MIAM please click here.
If they choose to engage then they will attend a MIAM and then from there the mediator, yourself and your ex-partner would discuss going into joint sessions.
