A Balanced, Supportive Mediation Approach

His legal expertise enables him to provide informed, structured guidance, while his practical mindset allows him to simplify complex financial and parenting issues with clarity and precision.

He places the needs of any children involved at the heart of the process, supporting parents in creating arrangements that promote stability and positive future relationships.

A Mediation Philosophy Focused on Empowerment

Akash believes that family law mediation should be an empowering experience. His goal is always to help families reach a genuine ‘breakthrough’ and to achieve lasting agreements that allow them to move forward with dignity, understanding, and peace of mind.

Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM)

A MIAM is the first step in the family mediation process and is now a legal requirement for anyone wishing to apply to the court for financial or child arrangement orders following a separation or divorce.

During this individual meeting, Akash will discuss your situation confidentially to assess whether mediation is safe and suitable for your case. It is also your opportunity to ask questions and understand how the process works.

Do I need a MIAM?

Yes, unless an exemption applies (such as in cases of domestic abuse), the court expects all applicants to have attended a MIAM.

Court Forms & Certificates

As a fully Accredited Mediator (FMC), Akash Soni is authorised to sign the necessary court forms (C100 for children or Form A for finances). If mediation is not suitable, or if the other party declines to attend, we will provide you with the signed certificate you need to proceed to court.
