Professional Family Mediator Brisbane | Gold Coast

Mediation is simply one of the most effective methods available to sort out separation issues including property settlements, arrangements for children, child support or for that matter any matter arising under the Family Law Act or perhaps even Surrogacy Act matters? 

A family mediator (Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner or FDRP) helps people resolve their differences -

	Without going to court
	Without the costs of litigation
	Without destroying relationships
	Without wasting your and your family's time
	Without significant lawyer involvement (your choice)

Mediation is a process in which an independent person assists two or more people or organisations in dispute to negotiate and to make mutually satisfactory decisions to resolve the issues in dispute.  It is a form of "assisted negotiation". 

Family Separation Mediation is a decison making process where the parties are assisted by the family mediator by attempting to improve the decision making process to enable the parties to reach an outcome agreeable to both.  

	Family Mediation (otherwise known as Family Dispute Resolution) brings clarity to the situation and each party's issues are recognised and discussed;
	Family Mediation  reduces and/or overcomes communication problems, allowing each party to understand and perceive the others view point.
	Family Mediation  promotes construction and efficient negotiations by focusing on needs andinterests rather than the positions of the parties may have taken.
	The parties themselves are empowered and encouraged to take care of their own decisions and accept responsibility for consequences of those decisions.
	The relationships of the parties are improved or at least not damaged (which is the opposite usual outcome of litigation).
	The parties are provided with a method/model of resolving later conflicts or at least made aware that there is a viable alternative to litigation.

The most cost effective and sensible approach to resolving family issues (children & property) is to engage a competent family mediator who is well versed and experienced in family law.  Please read the other pages in this site and visit our links page to learn more.
