Ian Smith I found myself in a position that I quite simply never dreamt I would be in in a million years. I went to Vardags, initially for advice. All my options were laid out in a very professional yet personal way. We decided to go down... a particular route and as my situation changed , so did the route that Vardags recommended. I had never felt so vulnerable in all my life and so it was very comforting to feel supported at all times. Anya Atkins The Vardags Teams are incredible! The level of customer service just and simply stunning. At difficult times what is important as a customer is to feel heard and Vardags has the ability to do that! Their work is impeccable and... that is the reason why the outcome they get with and for you is the best possible at all times. Mariette Terrisse Hilborne What should have been the worst year of my life was resurrected by this firm. The Manchester based team of Anne-Marie Bradley and Kate Taylor were exceptional. They treat you as a human being rather than a client. I can't thank... them enough for all their expertise, choice of barrister and expert witness. If I am ever unlucky enough to repeat this horrible episode, they will be my first port of call. Can't recommend these two enough. Mark Gallagher An extremely capable & exceptionally committed family law team for medium-to-very high wealth individuals led by the financial genius Dr Stephen Bence and highly distinguished Ayesha Vardag. Martin Waters Getting any kind of family problem is really when you are at your most vulnerable variables and their whole team were incredibly supportive, kind, attentive and caring throughout the entire experience. The whole team were... incredibly supportive, kind, attentive, and caring throughout the entire experience.

It is usually more cost effective and quicker and generally stops issues from escalating. [No fault divorce](https://vardags.com/law-guide/basic-principles/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](https://vardags.com/family-law/mediation-mandatory-mediocre) will continue to do so, since either party can simply state that they do not feel mediation will be appropriate. **If you're considering or going through a divorce, click below for a free initial consultation with one of our expert solicitors.** [Click here to read](https://vardags.com/law-guide/basic-principles/using-the-courts-or-mediation-for-divorce) more or [here for our complete list of Divorce FAQs](https://vardags.com/faq/divorce) [Book Your Free Consultation](https://vardags.com/contact "Book Your Free Consultation") [Vardags climbs ranks of UK's biggest firms in The Lawyer's UK 200](https://vardags.com/posts/vardags-london-climbs-ranks-of-uks-biggest-firms-in-the-lawyers-uk-200) OUR FULL RANGE OF SERVICES -------------------------- Vardags is one of the UK's leading divorce law firms.
