Conflict Resolution services are available for both workplace and family disputes, each with a similar process and fee structure.

FAMILY LAW

STEP 1:    The person seeking to resolve the disagreement makes an appointment for a Preliminary Conference which you need to allow 1.5 hours.  The preliminary conference is an essential part of the process to hear your story and to assess whether your case is suitable for FDR (Mediation).

STEP 2:    The other party is contacted in writing on two occasions to invite them to participate in mediation. If they agree, they have their confidential preliminary conference.

STEP 3:    Both parents attend FDR for a three hour period.

STEP 4:    If one parent does not attend or it is deemed not suitable by the FDR Practitioner, the required Certificate is issued and each party is encouraged to seek legal advice. Legal advice is encouraged at any stage of the FDR process.
