Parenting and Property Mediation services available across Australia.
Parenting Mediation after separation...
What is involved with parenting mediation?
Parenting Mediation is a process under Australian family law that helps separated families resolve disputes about parenting and/or property matters. Separated parents who disagree about child matters are generally required to make a genuine effort to resolve their differences before asking a court to decide (limited exemptions apply). Australian Mediation provides accredited Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners, also known as Mediators, who are authorised to issue s60I/66H certificates, when appropriate. Parenting Mediation can save you time, money and stress. Mediation helps restore family stability and minimise risks to children’s health and well-being by assisting parents to develop a practical parenting plan.
Worried your ex-partner will not mediate? If your ex-partner does not wish to mediate, we also offer a Parenting Proposal Preparation Service, where you can meet individually with an experienced Mediator to prepare your preferred parenting plan.
Post-Separation Property and Financial Mediation
What is involved in property mediation?
Australian Mediation provides property and financial mediation services Australia-wide for separated couples (either married or defacto) and families. If you cannot agree on how to divide assets after separation, property mediation can help you resolve disputes without the stress, cost and delay of going to court. Our property mediation services are available by phone or video, including FaceTime, Microsoft Teams and Zoom, making the process flexible and accessible wherever you are in Australia.
Property Mediation assists parties to identify disputed property matters, discuss the shared property pool and work towards a fair and practical agreement. Instead of relying only on lawyers or court proceedings, mediation gives separated parties the opportunity to make their own informed decisions about property settlement in a confidential and supportive process.
Worried your ex-partner will not mediate? If your ex-partner does not wish to mediate, we also offer a Property Proposal Preparation Service, where you can meet individually with an experienced Mediator to prepare your preferred parenting plan.
What if I am a grandparent?
If you have been cut off from your grandchildren through family separation or any other reason, you must first try to resolve the matter through a Family Dispute Resolution process (mediation) before initiating court action. The court will require proof (i.e., the s60I / 66H certificate) before they will process your application, and Australian Mediation is able to issue these certificates as appropriate.
