FAQs

What is Mediation and Family Dispute Resolution?

Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process where parties involved in a family law dispute meet with a neutral third party, called a mediator, to work towards reaching a mutually acceptable agreement.

What is a Mediator?

A mediator is an impartial third party who facilitates discussions and encourages communication between the parties. Unlike court proceedings, where a judge imposes a decision, the parties control the outcome in mediation. The mediator helps parties identify the issues and works towards a resolution that is acceptable to all parties involved.

Do I have to attend mediation?

Mediation is voluntary and allows parties to have more control over the outcome of their dispute.

How much does it cost?

Please contact us and we will provide details of the costs involved.
