Want to avoid costly and emotionally draining time in Court?

Kris and Monica talk to Rach and Dene about mediation and other ways to avoid time in Court.

We chat about:

• Court proceedings can take a long time to resolve matters – sometimes up to two years


• Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners (FDRP)


• being heard and acknowledged can help to move on, and may be more satisfying that having your day in Court


• adopting an interest-based approach to mediation can be more helpful than taking a positional or adversarial approach to dispute resolution


• lawyer-assisted mediation and non-lawyer community-based mediation with trained mediators.
