Mediation (which includes Family Dispute Resolutions) is where parties come together in an attempt to resolve their disputes. It is a cost effective way to finalise arrangements without having to go to Court. Mediations normally take no longer than a day and can deal with both parenting and property matters.
A Registered Mediator will assist the parties in helping them to discuss what they are concerned about and hopefully reach an agreement on what will happen in the future. This may include parenting arrangements such as how much time children will spend with each parent; or property issues such as who will retain what items etc.
Smithson Lawyers Gold Coast has registered Mediators who can help the parties.

I've had Smithson Lawyers deal with my family law matter. They were efficient, quick and knowledgeable, but most importantly they were affordable. Janeen also dealt with an off the plan purchase and in the process of being all of the above, she also saved me over $1000 by actually reading the contract and not assuming it was a standard conveyance. I use this law firm now and will continue should I need to in the future.
