Family Mediation is a process that:

• is confidential and voluntary
• empowers separated parties to make their own decisions in relation to their children, property, and finances;
• enables parties to reach an agreement without going to court, saving significant time and money.

Mediation can assist separating couples to decide what to do about:

• Children’s Matters  – how to share parenting and parental responsibilities going forward; and
• Property and Financial Matters – how to divide property and financial assets and liabilities.

As mediators, we:

• provide the skills to assist parties to communicate effectively and identify their needs and interests
• use a variety of problem-solving techniques to help parties identify options and solutions
• assist parties to negotiate an agreement that once documented can become legally binding.
