WHAT IS MEDIATION?

 

In short, Family Law Mediators negotiate complex legal matters to produce legally binding settlements - .

​

The process is substantially more effective and faster, with increased adherence to agreements.

​

Mediators combine specialist knowledge of law, psychology and negotiation techniques in a way that minimizes the negative emotional and financial effects of the traditional approach.

 

Settlements are negotiated out of court, and though no legal representation is required, parties may be assisted by legal counsel.
