Mediation & Agreement

Once you decide to proceed with mediation you’ll work closely with our qualified family mediators who are  registered with the Family Mediation Council (FMC). The experienced family mediator shuttles between you and facilitates discussions between you and your ex-partner to ensure a safe environment for both parties. Together, you’ll address issues such as child disputes and child arrangements, financial contributions, and practical steps for moving forward. The goal is to reach a mutually acceptable agreement that benefits both parties and gives minimal impact to any children involved. This agreement is documented in a legally binding format known as a consent order, which outlines the responsibilities and commitments of each party.

Resolution & Closure

As your mediation progresses, you will work towards finalising a memorandum of understanding that captures all agreed-upon terms. This document will provide clarity for everyone on roles and responsibilities moving forward, ensuring that both parties understand and adhere to the terms of the agreement. Once mediation concludes, you may choose to explore additional support options, such as legal advice, relationship counselling, or collaborative law to strengthen ongoing communication and cooperation. Mediation serves as a solution for family disputes over divorce or child access. You may also need to still seek court action and legal action beyond mediation however if a resolution cannot be reached.
