If your relationship has broken break down and you can’t agree on care arrangements for your children (ie who the children spend time with, who they live with, what happens on school holidays or decisions about major issues), or can’t agree on how assets and debts will be divided, mediation provides you with an opportunity to do this without going to Court.

We can mediate your parenting and / or property dispute.  We are Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners (‘FDRP’) and also Nationally Accredited mediators.

In most cases, the Family Law Act makes attempting dispute resolution mandatory prior to making an application to the Court.  Dispute resolution is part of the Court’s ‘pre-action procedures’.

The Family Law Act requires that you prove your attempts at resolving the dispute, either via a ‘Section 60I’ Certificate (for parenting) which we can issue because we are ‘FDRP’ mediators, and also via a ‘Genuine Attempts’ Certificate (for parenting and property) which you or your lawyer can complete after the mediation.

You can find more information about the Court’s requirements on the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia website, by clicking here.
