Family Dispute Resolution

When your relationship ends it is not easy to work out arrangements for your children and divide up everything you own together. Strong emotions leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, and the thought of lengthy battles in Court draining every cent you have is scary.

Family Dispute Resolution is much faster, less adversarial and much more affordable than going to Court. It allows you to remain in control of deciding your own future rather than allowing a Judge to decide on it for you. At Family Dispute Resolution, you get to set the agenda.

We can help you put together a Parenting Agreement or a Parenting Plan, work out Child Support arrangements, divide up your assets and belongings, and importantly, help you work out how to communicate with each other in the future about your children.

At Family Dispute Resolution, we empower you to search for your own solutions and reach agreement on the things that are important so you can both move forward with your lives.
