Family Dispute Resolution & Mediation Services
Save on legal fees.
Reach timely resolutions.
Move forward with confidence.
Many people don’t realise that separation doesn’t have to start with lawyers..
Choosing Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) can save significant time, money, and emotional stress while helping you reach practical agreements more smoothly. This approach is particularly advantageous for you and your children.
Family dispute resolution and mediation, a conflict resolution method, is actively encouraged for disputes related to property, financial settlements, and child-related matters, rather than resorting to the complexities of family court proceedings. Regardless of whether you've already commenced the process without family dispute resolution services, it's never too late to explore this option. At any stage of your journey, you have the potential to save time, stress and money.
Family dispute mediation services can be a straightforward and less stressful alternative to courtroom battles. Its ability to facilitate a smoother transition to the next phase of life with reduced conflict provides greater control over decisions concerning children, ultimately keeping control in your hands, while being a more expedient and cost-effective option.
At Assent Group, we excel at what we do, and if you're interested in understanding why we stand out from other mediation services in Australia, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
