KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Mediation, Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM)
A Mediation, Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) is a session conducted by a family mediator to assist separating parents or partners in considering noncourt methods of resolving disputes.
Since April 2011, parties involved in many family disputes are generally required to attend a MIAM before making certain court applications concerning children or family matters.
The purpose of the meeting is to explain the mediation process, assess whether mediation may be suitable, and encourage parties to resolve disagreements cooperatively where possible.
However, attendance at a MIAM may not be appropriate in cases involving domestic violence, child protection concerns, or other situations where mediation would be unsafe or unsuitable.
