Family Law Services

Save on legal fees.
Reach timely resolutions.
Move forward with confidence.

Many people may not realize that they don't have to kickstart their separation process with lawyers, opting for mediation can result in substantial savings, both financially and in terms of time and emotional well-being.

This approach is particularly advantageous for you and your children. Mediation, a conflict resolution method, is actively encouraged for disputes related to property and 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 mediation, it's never too late to explore this option. At any stage of your journey, you have the potential to save you time, stress and money. 

Mediation can be straightforward and less stressful nature compared to courtroom battles, its ability to facilitate a smoother transition to the next phase of life with reduced conflict, providing greater control over decisions concerning children, and ultimately keeping control in your hands, all while being a less taxing and more expedient alternative to the court system, with the added bonus of saving you tens of thousands of dollars.

At Assent Group, we excel at what we do, and if you're interested in understanding why we stand out from the rest, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
