Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about family law mediation, negotiation and dispute resolution.
What is family law mediation?
Family law mediation is a process where separated parties meet with an independent mediator to discuss issues such as parenting, property or financial arrangements and try to reach an agreement.
Do I need to attend mediation before going to court?
In many parenting matters, parties are generally expected to attempt mediation before applying to court, unless there are urgent issues or safety concerns. Mediation may also be useful in property and financial disputes.
Will the mediator make a decision for us?
No. A mediator does not make decisions or take sides. Their role is to help both parties communicate, identify issues and explore possible agreements.
Can a lawyer attend mediation with me?
In some cases, yes. A lawyer may attend mediation to provide advice, assist with negotiations and help ensure any proposed agreement is practical and legally appropriate.
What happens if we reach an agreement at mediation?
If an agreement is reached, it may be recorded in writing. Depending on the matter, you may choose to formalise it through parenting orders, consent orders or another legally binding document.
