Often parties are not aware of what a mediation/family dispute resolution conference is or the legislative requirements to undertake this process prior to commencing proceedings in court subject to exceptional circumstances. Nor are they aware of the benefits in relation to both time and cost that you may benefit from in undertaking this process. 

You may have already sought the advice of a lawyer to try and gain an understanding of the implications of your circumstances and possible outcome. 

We welcome lawyers to attend with parties at the family dispute resolution conference to provide advice to you throughout the process and to assist you in arriving at an outcome which is realistic without the need to incur the unnecessary costs of proceeding to trial. The lawyers are also able to assist you with drafting an appropriately worded agreement to reflect the terms of the settlement between yourself and your former partner.
