Mediation for families in Hounslow
The West London Family Court is in Hounslow itself, at Gloucester House in Feltham – which makes Hounslow one of the few boroughs where the court is closer than the mediator. It is also one of the busiest family courts in the country, and its judges expect to see a MIAM certificate with every application.
Many Hounslow families work at Heathrow or in the businesses around it, on shifts and rosters that make a fixed weekly contact schedule hard to keep. A Parenting Plan built around a rota is one of the things mediation is good at. Sessions are online or in person in Hounslow by appointment, in a private, neutral room; interpreters can be arranged in Punjabi, Urdu, Somali and other languages.

Which court hears your case depends on where the children live, and the court confirms it when you apply. Before a C100 for children or a Form A for finances it expects a MIAM first, and our certificate is accepted at every family court in England and Wales. If proceedings have already started, mediation can run alongside them.
