MAIM meeting

Hi .

My ex walked out of mediation he said if I would not agree to his terms there was no point in mediation.

I tried again with a different mediator but he started court proceedings.

I just looked at his form G and he has ticked the box that says he has not attended a recent MIAM meeting. His old meeting was some 8 months previous. It clearly states on the form that he cannot apply to court unless he has been to a recent meeting.

Do i mention it now, or do i wait until the first court appointment ?

I would rather settle out of court but he hasn't given me all the details of stuff we have. I have made an offer to him based on guesswork but no reply from him.

Hi,

I think you mean Form A? That's the application for financial remedy.
It should have been signed off by a mediator. It is perfectly possible he is the one who has said the matter is not suitable for mediation.

If it hasn't and the judge at first appointment thinks mediation should be tried they may send you back for another go. It does sound from what you say that there isn't any chance of mediation succeeding.

The point of the court process is to ensure there is full financial disclosure. You have to exchange forms E and can ask questions about each other's disclosure. The judge at FDA will order that they are answered.

You can settle at any time during the process.
