Frequently Asked Questions

  • We can conduct your mediation within two weeks from enquiry, depending on the willingness and availability of both parties.

  • Our standard policy is to charge our fees on a per-party basis. We feel this presents a neutral starting point and can balance the motive for genuine effort. However, we understand a different payment agreement may be more suitable for you and we are flexible to discuss this with you.

  • Mediation is voluntary, therefore we cannot make anyone attend or agree to mediate. If we are able to make contact, we will explain the benefits of mediation, and the possible implications of refusing. If the other party still refuses, we will issue you a Section 60i certificate and explain the next steps you may take

  • Each party may request to have a support person with them, however the other party must agree to this also. The support person is not to engage in the mediation and speak for you, they are simply a supportive presence.

  • In comparison to going to court, mediation is less expensive, quicker, less adversarial and less stressful. You remain in control of the decisions made for yourself and family.
