Mediation / Family Dispute Resolution
Most couples who are negotiating parenting arrangements, are aiming to avoid court. Family law assumes that you and your former partner (absent any extenuating circumstances that warrant cause for concern) are in the best position to decide what is in the best interests of your child or children.
Attempting mediation or dispute resolution outside of court can be the most cost effective and least stressful pathway to finalising your parenting (and property) matters.
