Mediation

Family Dispute Resolution Pty Ltd / FDR.au was started by two lawyers with over 30 years combined experience in working with families, communities and other parties seeking to find a way to solve their disputes.

With backgrounds in mediation and law, our goal is to provide a supportive and neutral environment for families and other parties to resolve disputes through mediation.

We understand the emotional and financial toll that family disputes can take, and we are committed to helping our clients achieve a fair and sustainable resolution.

We have completed rigorous training to become mediators / family dispute resolution practitioners and adhere to the highest ethical standards.

We work closely with the people who come to us to create an environment where they can communicate effectively and find solutions that work for everyone involved.

FDR.au believes in the power of mediation to help families move forward with their lives.

Family & Divorce Mediation

Where we work with divorcing couples help them craft personalized and durable agreements.

Where agreement cannot be reached or if the matter is assessed as unsuitable for mediation a s60I certificate can be issued.

 

Prenuptial Agreements

Where we work with couples entering into a new relationship / marriage who wish to prevent future possible litigation in the case of relationship breakdown in the future.

Post-Divorce Mediation

When circumstances change, couples can return to mediation to renegotiate financial and/or parenting terms.

Negotiated Settlements

We offer direct representation for a party and can provide support and expertise to them during ‘out of court’ negotiations.

“Katherine is an great mediator. She helped us reach an agreement that I never thought was possible.

She was professional all the way and her empathy made it easier to stick with it.

She was really patient at explaining the process and her skills facilitating our discussion to stay focussed on the kids led to an outcome that is good for the kids and i can live with.

I highly recommend Katherine for anyone going through a family dispute.”

”Anna was easy to work with and provided great guidance and supported me throughout our mediation process.

She listened to both our concerns, and helped us listen to each other which meant we could find solutions that worked for our family, even though we don’t live together anymore. 

She didn’t take sides which was really good. 

I would definitely recommend Anna’s services to anyone needing family dispute mediation.”

“Katherine and Anna were simply the best.

Our matter was really complex and we needed two mediators.

They set up an environment where I felt safe and supported during a really challenging time.

They didn’t favour either of us, but I felt they were still compassionate to both of us.

They guided us through the process & helped us communicate in a way that will definitely help us co-parent in the future.

I am grateful for their help and recommend them to anyone with a complex family breakdown.”
