Frequently Asked Questions

Family law is the area of law that deals with relationships and family matters, including marriage, civil partnership, divorce, financial settlements, and arrangements for children. It also covers cohabitation, pre-nuptial agreements and domestic abuse.

A MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting) is a meeting with a qualified mediator that most people are required to attend before they can apply to a family court. The mediator explains how mediation works and whether it might help resolve your dispute. If mediation is not suitable for your situation, the mediator can sign a form allowing you to proceed directly to court.

Family Court hearings in England and Wales are generally held in private, meaning members of the public and press cannot attend. However, the judgment in your case may be published, usually with names and identifying details removed. Your solicitor will explain what applies in your particular circumstances.
