Safe | Resolution Focussed Without Court | Self-determining | Healing
We provide mediation which is solution oriented, future focussed and child-focussed in parenting matters.
Mediation is a proven process whereby a neutral or impartial person, the mediator, helps those in dispute to discuss and re-evaluate the issues in a safe, respectful and confidential environment in order to come up with solutions of their own making, typically resulting in an outcome each party can live with and which least interrupts their lives.
Mediation = resolution without litigation.
Family dispute resolution
We can help parents to discuss parenting issues, identify options and work out parenting and property agreements that are in the best interests of the children and in a safe and controlled environment.
Our range of mediation services
Pre-nuptial and reconcilation, family wills and estates, commercial disputes, neighbour disputes, and mediation for small community organisations are just some examples of the range of mediation services we can provide.
Fees for professional mediation services
You are welcome to contact us about our fee structures. Each party is invoiced separately. All mediation fees, except for the initial telephone intake conference, are paid in advance so expectations are managed.
