Consensus Mediations

Mediation can be quicker, cheaper and more satisfactory.

Disadvantaged women miss out on a fair division of property because of a lack of quick, affordable ways to resolve family law disputes.

Mediation is about bringing parties together to communicate with each other, whilst exploring solutions that will be beneficial to all involved. It can be a less stressful, more informal and a cheaper way to reach a personalised conclusion for all parties.

Mediate, instead of going to court. Now there's a good idea!

BROKEN families fighting for custody of their children will be able to avoid lawyers and judges, in a trial that could lead to the biggest overhaul of the defective family law system in 40 years.

The review of our family law system won't be finished for 18 months. Can you wait that long?

Mediation is new to some people. But it's easy to do. It's really just a conversation about a problem. The mediatior is there to help you stay focussed, and to ensure that the conversation is productive. So don't just keep arguing at home. Mediate, and move on.

Can you afford one of these? The going rate in Brisbane for a barrister is $4400 per day. And you have to pay the solicitor as well.
There is a better way. Ninety per cent - yes, 90%!!! - of disputes that are referred for mediation settle. No court costs are then involved.

Last week we helped two parents of teenagers to have a hard conversation. It lasted for eight hours. It was tiring, and difficult at times.
But they spoke about their conflict in a way that would not have been possible by themselves, or in affidavits that would have been filed in forthcoming court proceedings.
They found common ground. In the process, they saved years of litigation, and tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees.
Their newly constituted family can move forward.
Sometimes, mediation can be magical!

Did you know that to litigate a family law issue in court - even an issue about how many hours a week you can spend with your children - can cost up to $40,000 and take two years? Mediation is quicker, cheaper, and ultimately much more satisfactory. Our family dispute resolution practitioner can help you reach your own agreement about your children.
