Family Mediation Services
Family Mediation and Family Dispute Resolution (‘FDR’) services are classifications used to describe specific types of mediation services.
Family Mediation Services will deal with all issues that fall within the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) such as Property Settlements; Child Custody/Parenting matters; Child Support Agreements; Guardianships, Consent Orders; Spousal Maintenance and Grandparent rights.
FDR Services deal specifically with parenting matters needing a settlement about Child Custody/Parenting agreements. Before a parent can file an application in the courts to decide on a dispute to do with their children, the parties are required to first make a genuine effort to resolve their parenting matter through mediation. To demonstrate this effort parents will need to attach a section 60I certificate to their application when filing their matter in the Courts, unless an exemption applies. Only accredited FDRP’s such as Sherri Gullickson can issue s60I certificates.
Mediation Service
Keeping the process informal and safe.
It’s essential that you are safe to negotiate freely. Due to Covid restrictions mediation has transitioned comfortably to the online space. Parties find it more convenient conducting their mediation sessions from either the comfort of their own home or their lawyer’s office.
Prefer to be face to face, not a problem, as long it is safe to do so, Sherri can arrange a confidential face to face mediation session from a number of locations, there will just be an additional cost of the venue hire for the meeting rooms. Feel free to contact Sherri for a 10min. no obligation discussion to see if your matter is suited to Mediation.
