Mediation, Information and Assessment Meeting
(MIAM) From April 2011, a session run by a family mediator in which separating parents attempt to resolve any disputes about the arrangements to be made for their children; in most circumstances, parents will be required to attend a MIAM before making application to the court. A MIAM is not considered appropriate where there are issues relating to child protection or domestic violence.
