Mediation
MEDIATION
Before any application can be made to court, you are required to attend MIAM. Miam (Mediation Information and assessment Meetings) is mandatory to asses whether or not there is room for both parents to negotiate a parenting plan or certain issues without court intervention; For parents to co-parent rather than placing it in front of a judge. The courts are not there to parent but to assist parents when a decision can not be reached amicably or one parent is being unreasonable. We will assist you with all of your paperwork and help to draft and reach a parenting plan.
Join as a Member and talk with other Fathers who are suffering too.
