Mediation is about understanding that you have a choice about your future. It's about realising that you have a chance to sort out your issues in a flexible, non-court based arena. There are options to execute the mediation session in different ways, for instance, if you feel unsafe, or if there is an intervention order in place. We can facilitate your mediation to make you feel as comfortable as possible.

Mediation allows each party to have an opportunity to express their WHAT, WHY and HOW?. What it's like on your side of the fence. Why you want what you want? How you see things from your perspective? Mediation is a powerful process that puts you in a space to offer proposals and to negotiate. To look for solutions.

Specifically Mediation for families is called Family Dispute Resolution (FDR). A qualified Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner (FDRP) will execute a mediation between 2 disputing parties. FDR Mediation is a voluntary process, it is a process other than a judicial process in which a FDRP helps people affected, or likely to be affected, by separation or divorce to resolve some or all of their disputes with each other, and in which the practitioner is independent of all the parties involved in the process. (Family Law Act 1975 (Cth))

For many - Family Court is a reality but at Mediate Negotiate we believe that "Court should be your last resort"

It's about your kids.

Sadly, many couples get caught up in 'the fight'. You end up in court, with costly legal fees, lawyers and barristers. Spending huge amounts of money that you don't have. Having to take time off work and being constantly stressed out with your emotions in overdrive. You have every intention to make sure that your kids are 'ok' but when yo

Sadly, many couples get caught up in 'the fight'. You end up in court, with costly legal fees, lawyers and barristers. Spending huge amounts of money that you don't have. Having to take time off work and being constantly stressed out with your emotions in overdrive. You have every intention to make sure that your kids are 'ok' but when you're in the midst of anger, stress, confusion, loss, grief and emotional upheaval, it's really hard to focus on your kids. Your needs at this time are really important but even more so, it's about the needs of your kids. 

Mediation keeps the focus on what is in the best interest of your kids! Your mediator will assist you to be mindful of this when you are negotiating. 

Does Mediation work?

Mediation is a very effective process. Mediation is self-determining, this means that you decide on your parenting arrangements and you decide what will work for you and your children. If you went to court - the decision may be made by a Judge. Mediation can also be used to work out your financial and property disputes, ie your assets (what you own) and your liabilities (what you owe)

A qualified and accredited FDRP (please check that your Mediator is qualified and accredited with the Attorney General's Department before entering into the mediation process) will assist you in determining if FDR Mediation is a suitable process for you. If so, they will help you prepare.

Mediation works because it allows each party to speak about the issues that they are having. These issues form the agenda and the Mediator will work with you to discuss and explore options for each agenda item. Your mediator will manage the process but not the outcome. That's your part!
