Why Mediate

Because 85% of cases settle – without going to court or big legal fees

Control

You decide what’s best for you and your family – not a judge. Be heard, have your issues addressed, negotiate, explore options for settlement & make your own agreement.

Affordable

Family mediation is affordable and you don’t always need a lawyer. Average court costs per party are $50,000 – average mediation costs per party are $2,500.

Quicker

You get to resolve your dispute in a matter of days – not months. Don’t wait up to 18 months to get your dispute heard at a Brisbane family court.

Confidential

Mediation is confidential unless exceptions apply. Court proceedings are in public. You can negotiate, safe in the knowledge that you can speak without repercussion.

Compulsory

Need a Parenting Order – you must attend family dispute resolution (mediation) unless exceptions apply. If you don’t, you could be ordered to pay your ex-partner’s legal costs.

Positive Co-Parenting

Mediation improves communication between you and your ex- partner promoting, positive co-parenting.

Customer Testimonials

Average Rating:

Such a smooth process

That went so much smoother than I ever imagined. I can’t thank you enough. You assisted me with slowing down and thinking first. It was almost like a totally different conversation after our first break. Smooth and fair. Thank you

N Cole

Would recommend!

Thank you so much for your assistance in all this. It has been greatly appreciated. If it wasn’t for the work that you have done, I don’t think I would have had the relationship I currently have with my daughter!

D Sawtell

Very happy with your service!

Thanks, Ashma, for your caring and thoughtful approach. Was very confused when my relationship broke down, didn’t know what to do or where I should go. You provided me with a clear path, a good outcome at a very reasonable price. Very happy with your service.

A Smith

Recommend contacting them with complete confidence in their expertise.

The mediator displayed a remarkable level of professionalism and kindness. Her commitment to integrity was evident, and I sincerely appreciated her genuine sincerity, especially when the other party disregarded my values. I felt incredibly supported, heard, and represented throughout the process. If the need arises, I will turn to this firm again in the future. If you require mediation, I recommend contacting them with complete confidence in their expertise.
