Our Background and Approach
We are specialist family lawyers, mediators and registered family dispute resolution practitioners. We offer practical, solution focussed guidance for people going through divorce and separation.
Family law mediation and family dispute resolution provides parties with an opportunity to resolve every aspect of their separation in a non-adversarial, professionally supported environment.
Our usual approach to conducting family law mediations is evaluative, rather than facilitative. In other words, we actively apply our legal expertise to provide our mediation clients with an independent evaluation of the legal issues underpinning their dispute.
While we take a neutral and independent position in negotiations and dispute, we will express a legal view as to whether we think that a position taken, or proposal made, by a person has merit or not.
We do not just sit on the sideline and convey proposals between the parties back and forth. We engage with the issues and offer tailored legal solutions that are practical and workable.
We are Nationally Accredited Mediators.
We provide mediation services in relation to any issue arising between separated couples, including financial settlements, parenting arrangements, child support and relocation disputes.
As part of our service offering, we are able to draft quality, legally-binding agreements recording the terms of settlement reached between parties at mediation, including Parenting Plans, Consent Orders, Financial Agreements and Binding Child Support Agreements.
We offer our family law mediation clients a fixed fee end-to-end package which includes the parties’ attendance at mediation and preparation of settlement documents recording the terms of agreement reached between the parties at mediation.

We are Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners, registered with the Commonwealth Attorney General’s Office to issue statutory certificates under section 60I Family Law Act 1975 (Cth).
Our family dispute resolution services usually focus on parenting disputes and the resolution of issues that are ancillary to this, such as the ongoing financial support that each person is to provide for the children.
We apply our specialist family law expertise in the resolution of parenting disputes involving a broad range of matters, including the weekly living arrangements of children, relocation, family violence, coercive control and people with complex needs.
We offer our family dispute resolution clients a fixed fee end-to-end package which includes the parties’ attendance at mediation and preparation of settlement documents recording the terms of agreement reached between the parties at mediation.
