One of the most effective ways to reach an agreement that is acceptable to both parties is by participating in mediation, also known as family dispute resolution.
What is Mediation?
Mediation is a negotiation process that involves the parties in dispute, the mediator and sometimes the legal representatives for each party. The conference is held in an informal location, such as a solicitor’s office, or it can be conducted via telephone or in separate rooms dependent on the circumstances and situation. The mediator’s role is to negotiate an outcome agreeable to both parties. Mediation promotes negotiation in order to reach an outcome that is mutually agreeable, instead of asking a court to make a major decision about your family and your future.

Parenting and Property Disputes
Mediation is also used in other legal disputes to save the cost of court proceedings and for the parties to have greater control over outcomes. For parenting matters, mediation is a compulsory step before filing an application with the court to resolve your dispute.
