Your first meeting with the mediator will be one to one – and is entirely confidential, what is discussed in a MIAM meeting will not be disclosed in any future joint meetings, unless you wish it to be.
This is an opportunity to discuss openly and confidentially your current situation, allowing you to mention any safety concerns you may have about your partner, your situation, the process, the potential outcomes or any other issues you may have.
You can ask questions, and you can decide if you feel Karen is the right mediator for you and if mediation is the right way to help you through your separation/divorce.
