Mediation can usually help resolve and find solutions to issues surrounding child access or divorce disputes. With court proceedings however there is a ruling over who is in the right and often this can create more difficulty in the relationship.
The mediator works for both parties and a decision cannot be made unless all parties are satisfied. Therefore, no matter how long it takes to reach an agreement, the decision can only be made when both parties are both on board with the outcome and decisions.
What do you need to know?
Form FM1 is used to confirm that you have attended a MIAM or to explain why you have not attended one. This form is required when making an application to the court for orders related to children or finances, such as a Child Arrangements Order, Prohibited Steps Order, or Specific Issue Order. If you are exempt from attending a MIAM due to specific circumstances like domestic abuse, urgency, or other valid reasons, you will need to indicate this on the FM1 form.
