Mediation Is a Voluntary Process
Mediation works best when both parties are willing to participate.
A trained mediator facilitates the discussion, helping both people identify issues, understand concerns and explore possible solutions.
The mediator does not make decisions or take sides. Our role is to guide the conversation so both parties have the opportunity to be heard.
You can choose to be in the same room or separate rooms during mediation. Our Brisbane office is set up so both parties feel comfortable and supported.
Many families choose mediation because it offers several advantages:
- A more collaborative approach than court
- Faster resolution of disputes
- Greater privacy and confidentiality
- Less emotional strain on families
- Flexibility when creating agreements
Common issues we assist with include:
- Parenting arrangements and child care schedules
- Communication between separated parents
- Property and financial matters after separation
- Family disputes involving extended relatives
- Estate or inheritance disagreements
A guide through the mediation process
Understanding the process can make mediation feel far less daunting. While every situation is different, most matters follow a structured process designed to encourage productive discussion and resolution.
Practice Director Elizabeth Fairon says “Mediators can come from different backgrounds and skillsets. You may be referred to a mediator by a trusted source (such as your lawyer), however, it’s still worth looking at the mediator’s background and qualifications. Some may be more skilled in financial discussions or family law discussions etc. Look around, look at their websites and understand their qualifications to make an informed decision.”
Step 1: Initial Consultation
The process begins with a confidential consultation where we discuss your situation and determine whether mediation is appropriate. This meeting can take place in our Brisbane office, over the phone or via Zoom. We explain how mediation works and what issues may be discussed.
Step 2: Preparation for Mediation
Before mediation takes place, both parties have the opportunity to prepare. This may involve gathering relevant information, identifying key issues and considering possible outcomes so the discussion remains focused.
Step 3: Mediation Sessions
During mediation, the mediator guides the conversation between both parties. Our role is to create a balanced environment where each person can explain their concerns and perspectives while exploring practical solutions.
Step 4: Negotiating Agreements
As discussions progress, attention turns to solutions that work for both parties. These agreements may involve parenting arrangements, financial matters, property division or communication moving forward.
Step 5: Documenting the Outcome
If an agreement is reached, the outcomes can be documented so both parties clearly understand the arrangements moving forward. In many cases these agreements can later be formalised through legal processes if both parties choose. Even when every issue is not resolved, mediation often reduces conflict and provides a clearer path forward.
