Relationships Australia – Family Dispute Resolution

Family Dispute Resolution, also known as family mediation, helps separated or divorced couples to reach agreements around their children, money or property. Mediation is an alternative to going to court. Reaching an agreement without going to court can save parents or couples a lot of money, time and stress.

Parenting

Family Dispute Resolution is available for parents, carers and other family members. It’s a chance to talk about the children and discuss future parenting arrangements. We help people to talk with respect and focus on what the children need. We can also offer a Child Consultation to assist parents with their decision making.

Property

We can also help separated couples discuss their money, debts and property. You do not need to have children to get help with property issues.

Specialist Elder Abuse Service can help older people and their families to:
• Feel respected and safe,
• Resolve or prevent family conflict in ways that aim to improve relationships,
