ADVANTAGES OF MEDIATION
Finding a Solution through your Separation

This is why, in April 2011, the Ministry of Justice ruled that all parties considering any kind of separation or divorce must undertake mediation sessions before the case reaches the court. Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution to help both parties reach and agreement.
Also termed ‘Mediation Information and Meeting’, or MIAM, this measure aims at getting the parties to agree to an out of court settlement that is unanimous and to everyone’s benefit.
