What Is Mediation And How Do I Prepare For It?
March 9, 2017
When a couple decides to separate, strong emotions and financial uncertainty can make it difficult for them to agree on a parenting plan for the future.
In conflict situations where couples are unable to work out arrangements for their children (such as where the children will live and how much time they will spend with each parent), they are compelled by the Family Law Act to try mediation (known as Family Dispute Resolution or FDR), prior to making an application in the Family Court of Western Australia, with a qualified Family Lawyer as a mediator.
