What is Mediation?
Mediation is the facilitation of difficult conversations between people who don’t agree. Let us help you with that.
Who are we?
Family Dispute Resolution (often referred to as FDR) is a specialist form of Mediation for family law matters relating to children, property settlements, divorce and child support. We as Mediators assist both parties to work together to reach their own agreement. We are the neutral party and we help facilitate open and respectful discussion. We do not make decisions, we do not give legal advice, we are not the Judge and we do not judge. We assist you, the parties, to communicate and reach your own decision and avoid the costs, delays and exhaustion of your matter being resolved by the Courts.
