We have extensive experience in a variety of legal matters, from divorce and child custody to property division, so we can determine the best solution to resolve your family law dispute.
We know how sensitive these situations can be –
Rest assured, we’ll communicate to both parties with careful consideration and compassion.
Your family matter doesn’t have to be a long, unwinding battle. We’re here to give you clarity and peace of mind.
Family Dispute Resolution (FDR), otherwise referred to as mediation, is a legal process where separating or divorcing couples can resolve disputes with the help of a neutral third party.
This process is designed to help parties reach an agreement on issues such as parenting arrangements, property settlements, and divorce matters without going to court.
The Family Law Act 1975 outlines the legal requirements and processes for Family Dispute Resolution, ensuring that practitioners are accredited and that the process is conducted fairly and effectively.
Throughout the years we’ve worked with our clients, we know how taxing divorce or separation is for either party—especially if either party can’t agree on anything.
At Ramsden Law, our mediation service provides the foundations for you to cordially communicate with your ex-spouse, determine the right solution for important issues, and find common ground for a peaceful outcome.
Mediation fosters open communication and mutual respect, helping you preserve important relationships even during challenging times. It provides the opportunity for both parties to openly share their thoughts and concerns, allowing them to see each other’s point of view. By working together to find solutions, you can maintain a more amicable relationship, which is especially beneficial when children are involved.
Mediation is significantly more affordable than court proceedings, allowing you to resolve disputes without the high costs associated with litigation. Our cost-effective services ensure that you can reach a fair agreement without financial strain, providing peace of mind during a difficult period.
Our mediation process offers flexibility, allowing both parties to discuss and negotiate fair and just terms. This collaborative approach ensures that the final agreement reflects both parties’ needs and interests, leading to more satisfactory and sustainable outcomes.
Litigation can be a lengthy and stressful process. Mediation, on the other hand, is designed to be less adversarial and more collaborative, reducing the emotional toll on all parties involved. By choosing mediation, you can avoid the added stress of court battles and work towards a resolution in a supportive environment.
Our family mediation lawyers offer personalised legal guidance on a wide range of family law issues, including child custody, child support, spousal maintenance, and property settlements. We help you understand your rights and responsibilities, providing clear advice to facilitate a fair and just agreement.
We are committed to representing your interests confidently during mediation sessions. Whether you need us to attend the sessions with you or provide strategic advice behind the scenes, our goal is to ensure your voice is heard and your needs are prioritised.
Our mediation lawyers can also act as mediators or co-mediators, guiding both parties towards effective communication and a mutually satisfactory resolution. We create a constructive environment that encourages open dialogue and helps resolve disputes amicably.
Once an agreement is reached, our family mediation lawyers will meticulously draft the necessary legal documents to formalise the settlement. We ensure that all terms are accurately reflected, and that the agreement is legally binding and enforceable, giving you confidence and clarity moving forward.
When parents disagree over various aspects of their separation or divorce, it is crucial to prioritise the child’s well-being during discussions. In high-conflict situations, decisions must be made that reflect the best interests of the child, regardless of the parents’ preferences.
In some cases, the most effective way to resolve issues involving children is to involve the children directly in the process. Known as child-inclusive family dispute resolution, this approach allows children’s voices to be heard, and their views and preferences to be considered. A trained professional meets with the child or children separately to understand their thoughts and feelings about the dispute and any potential agreements.
This ensures that the children feel included and supported during a difficult time, and that their needs are taken into account.
Domestic violence adds another layer of complexity to family disputes. At Ramsden Lawyers, we handle these cases with the utmost sensitivity and care, ensuring the safety and well-being of all parties involved.
Our mediators are trained to identify and address issues of domestic violence, providing a safe and supportive environment for victims. In situations where mediation is appropriate, we use methods such as shuttle mediation to keep parties separate and ensure their safety.
For immediate support and assistance in cases of domestic violence, please contact the emergency hotline at 000 or reach out to 1800 RESPECT at 1800 737 732. These services provide critical support and resources to help you through challenging times.
