Family Law Mediation
Mediation is a quick, confidential and highly effective process for negotiating parenting arrangements and/or the division of property following separation.
Our Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner & Mediators are also Specialist Family Lawyers.
Family Law Mediation Services
In a Mediation, an independent chairperson (the Mediator) hosts and guides a conversation between the parties to help them identify and assess options in order to reach an agreement about issues that were unresolved between them (such as property division and parenting arrangements).
Mediation has proven to be very successful in resolving Family Law disputes and is a mandatory step for parenting matters before going to Family Court.
We offer Fixed Fee Mediation services for Parenting and Property Mediations.
Benefits of Mediation
It’s faster: Results can be achieved through Mediation within 3 to 4 weeks, whereas going through the Family Court or through lawyers alone generally takes 12 to 18 months, or longer.
It’s cheaper: Where time is saved, cost is also spared. In most cases, Mediation at an early stage can help to reduce legal fees by tens of thousands of dollars.
It’s Confidential: What occurs during the Mediation, and any agreement reached, can’t be disclosed to the Judge or used in Court at a later stage (subject to limited exceptions to protect people or property from risk of harm).
You control the outcome: The structured process of Mediation supports the parties to participate in the conversation and to be directly and completely in control of an outcome which affects them.
It’s fair: The Mediator must remain neutral and impartial (so can’t impose any judgment on the parties or force any party to speak or stay or agree).
There’s safety and support: The Mediator must ensure that each party is in a safe and supported environment so they can participate effectively.
