Description

Many people assume lawyers decide if mediation is appropriate, but that’s not true. In this episode, Dianne and Alina explain that under the Family Law Act, only accredited Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) Practitioners can make that call. As impartial professionals who hear both sides early on, FDR mediators are best placed to assess whether mediation is suitable, safe and practical.
