The Mediator - Susan Kaye

How do we get started?   If you make an initial contact, whether by phone or by email, Susan will ask you to complete a referral form that will give some basic information about you and then invite you to meet. This first meeting is called a MIAM – a Mediation Information Assessment Meeting.

Susan will then expect to speak with your partner to invite him/her to come to a MIAM too. You do not need to bring anything when you first come to mediation. During this intake meeting and after you and your former partner have discussed which matters you would like to discuss, Susan will make an assessment as to whether she believes mediation could be an option for you and you can then decide for yourself whether you wish to go forward with the mediation process.
