Child-Related & Parenting matters
Help you both discuss what the arrangements for your children can be like.
How often they live with each parent. Spending time over the school holidays. Time for special occasions. How the decision-making will work. How best to communicate about the kids.
Parents use this forum to also discuss the parameters of their ongoing parenting relationship.
If there is an agreement, I will prepare an outline of that agreement, which can then become a Parenting Plan, or this can be used to accompany an Application for Consent Orders (Form 11) to the Family Court to make into Parenting Orders.

"Child Inclusive Approach" offers parents the opportunity to give their child a voice. It provides your child with an opportunity to share what it is like from their point of view, in an age-appropriate, emotionally safe, and supportive environment.

Section 60i / 66H Certificates
For child-related and parenting matters, if parents cannot find a resolution together, they can apply to the Family Court to make a decision for them.
The Family Law requires parents to obtain a Certificate to show that they have at least attempted Family Dispute Resolution first.
There are circumstances where you can bypass mediation - please seek legal advice from a Family Lawyer about your situation.
I am authorised to issue Certificates.

Property Settlement matters
Separating your Asset Pool is a major financial decision. There is a lot of uncertainty, fear, worry about what the next step and what the future will hold.
How should your combined Assets/Liabilities be shared?
What have you both done to contribute to your current situation?
What you need currently and moving forward into the future?
Often it is difficult and unrealistic to find an arrangement you can be "happy" with. It is more about finding an arrangement you both can live with.
We can assist you with these important conversations and prepare your in-principle agreements in writing, along with a Schedule showing how you have divided your assets and liabilities.
WORKPLACE DISPUTES
ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ADR) in the Workplace
When disputes arise and work relationships become strained, individuals, team members, and potentially the entire workplace, can be negatively impacted.
Mediation can assist staff members to try to understand the underlying issues, facilitate helpful and solution-focussed discussions, consider viable options, and (hopefully) assist those involved to take positive steps forward.
This process is voluntary and non-adversarial.
I do not give legal advice. I do not arbitrate an outcome.
I provide a supportive, impartial, and independent forum to allow you and/or your staff to try and work through the issues at hand.
The ultimate goal being - to establish mutually acceptable solutions that
all parties can live with and for the workplace to get back on track.
