Resolving family disputes in Australia requires more than legal knowledge — it takes empathy, structure and experience. At My Divorce Lawyers, we are committed to helping you navigate conflict through clear, professional dispute resolution strategies. Whether you’re separating, negotiating parenting terms, or dividing property, our goal is to help you move forward with confidence and control.
Helping Families Resolve Conflict Without Going to Court
Navigating family disputes in Australia requires more than legal knowledge — it takes empathy, structure and clear communication. At My Divorce Lawyers, we support individuals and families in Sydney through practical, private and legally sound alternatives to litigation. Whether you’re dealing with parenting disagreements, financial division or post-separation tension, we help you move forward — fairly, calmly and with confidence.
Key Points:
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process led by a neutral professional.
In most family law cases, you must attempt mediation before applying for parenting orders.
YAgreements can be formalised into Consent Orders or Binding Financial Agreements.
Mediation is faster and more affordable than going to court.
Parties maintain control over the outcome, unlike court proceedings.
Legal advice is strongly recommended before and after mediation.
Mediation may not be suitable where there is family violence, urgency or major power imbalance.
What is Mediation?
Mediation is a confidential process where both parties, with the assistance of a neutral professional, attempt to reach agreement on their own terms. It is commonly used in family law to resolve:
Parenting arrangements and custody
Property and financial settlements
Child support and maintenance
Ongoing communication difficulties
It’s less stressful, significantly cheaper than court, and often results in better long-term cooperation between parties — especially where children are involved.
When is Mediation Required?
In most parenting disputes in Australia, you are required to attempt Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) before filing an application with the Family Court. The outcome of this process is documented in a section 60I certificate, which is necessary unless there’s family violence, risk to safety or urgency.
This legal obligation is intended to keep families out of court wherever possible, encouraging cooperative solutions and reducing the emotional burden on everyone involved.
Our Mediation & Dispute Resolution Services
At My Divorce Lawyers, we provide:
Pre-mediation legal advice
Legal support during mediation sessions
Advice on parenting plans, consent orders and financial agreements
Assistance with section 60I certificates and FDR compliance
Post-mediation agreement drafting and formalisation
Whether you’re seeking support for a private mediation or court-ordered session, our team is ready to guide and protect your interests throughout.
Parenting Disputes and Family Mediation
Parenting issues are often the most emotionally charged. We assist in resolving:
Living arrangements
Schooling and medical decisions
Communication schedules
Holiday and travel agreements
Relocation concerns
Mediation gives parents space to focus on what matters most — the best interests of the child — while maintaining respectful boundaries and avoiding litigation.
Property and Financial Mediation
Financial separation after divorce or relationship breakdown doesn’t always require court. Mediation can help couples agree on:
Division of assets and liabilities
Superannuation splits
Spousal maintenance
Sale of shared property
Business ownership concerns
We ensure your financial agreements are realistic, balanced and legally binding — while keeping the process confidential.
Property Financial Settlements
Is Mediation Legally Binding?
The mediation process itself is not binding — but any agreement reached can be formalised as:
Consent Orders, which are approved and enforceable by the Family Court
Binding Financial Agreements, for property and spousal support matters
We’ll help you decide which path is best and prepare the documentation accordingly.
What If Mediation Fails?
If mediation does not result in agreement, or is deemed inappropriate due to risk, urgency or non-cooperation, you may proceed to court.
In these cases, we assist with:
Applying to the Family Court
Urgent parenting or property orders
Protective orders for safety concerns
Court representation throughout litigation
