FAMILY DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Not as daunting as you may think

Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) is a type of mediation that helps people affected by separation and divorce to sort out their family disputes in a safe and supportive environment, without the need to go to Court. Guided by an impartial family mediator, FDR can help you and your ex-partner resolve your differences, sort out your property settlement and make arrangements for your children.

The mediator will work with you and your former partner to:

Identify and clarify the issues in dispute
Improve communication and build understanding
Explore options that are workable
‘Reality check’ to identify which options are most realistic
Reach agreements that include specific actions and behaviours for the future
For parents, help you to agree on arrangements that are going to be in the best interests of your children

Whilst not suitable for all family disputes, FDR can help most people reach agreements in one or two sessions. FDR allows people to retain control of decision-making and to modify agreements as your and your children's needs change.
