Family Mediation
family dispute resolution
What is family mediation?
Family mediation is also known as family dispute resolution.
The family law act requires parties to make a genuine effort to resolve disputes through family dispute resolution before applying to the courts. Using mediation can help resolve any disagreements and make arrangements for the future without the need to go to court.
If you want to find out if mediation is right for you book an appointment with our registered family dispute resolution practitioner.

PROPERTY SETTLEMENTS & family mediation
How does the court do a property split in family law? Unfortunately there isn’t a mathematical formula. However, there is a process the courts use when asked to split property. In Australia, the Court uses a 4 step process for determining property splits This process allows for the courts to look at the full set of circumstances and make a decision based on all factors as to what they believe is the fairest decision for all.
MEDIATION PREPARATION
It is normal to feel scared and unsure about what to expect when you have never done a mediation before. But if this isn’t addressed beforehand it can make the whole event feel overwhelming and terrifying – which is never going to lead to a good outcome. This is why, I hold mediation preparation appointments (for those of you who have mediations scheduled with other mediators). During this appointment, I can go over your issues, what you can expect and help come up with alternatives before your mediation.
