Understanding the Dispute Resolution Process

Mediation is a structured negotiation process in which a neutral third party assists parties to agree on their own solutions to a dispute. The style of mediation you choose will depend on the issues involved in your matter.

Mediations can be conducted with both parties unrepresented or represented by solicitors.

 

Benefits of Family Dispute Resolution & Mediation

There are numerous benefits to be gained by choosing to resolve family disputes through mediation.

  • Non-adversarial
  • A conciliatory approach to resolving problems – avoids holding positions & seeks to find common interests.
  • Cost effective
  • Informal
  • Organise meeting times & places convenient to you. Mediation takes place in our Fremantle rooms or other venues as agreed in face-to-face meetings or via phone/video-link.
  • Confidential
  • Protects parties from adverse publicity; encourages openness and honesty in exchanges.
  • Voluntary Involvement
  • Own the procedure
  • Individualise the procedure to your requirements.
  • Reduce disputed issues
  • Even if the final settlement is not reached, participants can narrow or clarify the issues for trial.
  • Finality

The agreed result can then be appropriately documented and enforced. For family disputes, the mediation agreement can be filed as Consent Orders in Court.
