Family Law Fact: Using the Courts or Mediation for Divorce

It is widely recognised that an amicable divorce process which allows the parties to come to an agreement outside of the court system is better for all involved. It is usually more cost effective and quicker and generally stops issues from escalating. No fault divorce will become possible from 6th April 2022 and this is expected to help make the whole process less confrontational since it removes the need to blame one party for the breakdown of the marriage. However, even before this happens, since April 2014, divorcing couple have needed to attend mediation before they can start court proceedings. The only exception in cases of domestic violence or abuse.

Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting

From 2011, an application to court to commence court proceedings required confirmation that the couple had considered mediation for any matters involving finances or children. However, this seemed to be widely ignored and so the necessity for a separating couple to attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) before they are allowed to take their case to court became a legal requirement in April 2014. This requires the parties to attend a private mediation session to discuss their case and whether mediation is suitable. The only requirement is the attendance at this session, as opposed to the necessity to first undertake mediation. It is therefore argued that those wishing to circumvent mediation will continue to do so, since either party can simply state that they do not feel mediation will be appropriate.
