DBH Family Lawyers offers a range of dispute resolution services which meet those goals.
Our specialist family law mediators have helped people just like you to find solutions to their disputes – quickly, cost efficiently and respectfully.
1. You contact us by phone or by email.
2. We invite the other person to take part in a family law mediation.
3. A mediation session is arranged at a time and place that suits you.
4. The agreement you reach at mediation can be made legally binding and enforceable, without going to court.
All of these services are able to be conducted with or without the involvement of lawyers.
All of these services are able to be conducted in person, by telephone, or by video conferencing.
$990 (including GST) per person per half-day. We do not charge for any of the “extras” that other mediation services often charge for, such as intake sessions or reading documents.
Your family law mediation can be held within days of your first enquiry if that is convenient for all parties. Your family law mediation can be arranged for a half day, a full day, or several sessions, depending on the number and complexity of the issues in dispute.
Our senior mediator, Stuart Barr, has been mediating family law disputes since 1996. He is accredited under the National Mediator Accreditation System and has successfully conducted hundreds of mediations as an accredited Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner. He has experience in both domestic and international family law disputes, parenting and financial issues, legal aid conferences and multi-million-dollar property settlements, mediations for unrepresented parties and highly-contested court cases. In 2017, he was awarded a Churchill Fellowship to study cross-cultural family dispute resolution internationally.
Only if you are comfortable doing that. We can also conduct “shuttle mediations” which allow you to resolve your dispute without coming into contact with your partner.
