Do I have to attend Family Mediation or Family Dispute Resolution ?
Family mediation is a voluntary process. No-one can force you to attend.
However, the Family Law Act requires you to attend compulsory family mediation (family dispute resolution)
before you can make an application to the Federal Circuit and Family Court for parenting (custody) or financial orders.
Family mediation is also a great way to resolve parenting issues, and minimise the impact of divorce on your children.
There are some exceptions to compulsory family dispute resolution, such as when there are issues like domestic violence or abuse
and a safe environment cannot be provided.
If you are worried about your safety attending family mediation, talk to us about a safety plan
and the security measures we have in place at our mediation rooms. We can also use video for your mediation if you prefer.
If you are uncertain about whether an exemption from compulsory family dispute resolution applies to you, contact us to discuss your situation.
