STOWE Family Law Settlements, Harrogate, has become one of a handful of legal practices outside London permitted to hold mediation meetings known as MIAMs.
Since April 2011, most couples are now expected to attend a MIAM – a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting – before issuing divorce proceedings.
This new protocol, introduced by the Ministry of Justice affects most applications to the court concerning children or finance issues.
