Separation and family disputes, especially parenting disagreements, can be overwhelming and emotionally draining. When parents cannot agree on crucial issues like child custody or parenting arrangements, it is vital to have a clear path forward. At Settled Now Mediation, we provide Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) services that help families on the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast resolve these disputes with speed, care, and professionalism. In addition, we guarantee a 60I Certificate in just 5 days if mediation does not result in an agreement or mediation is determined not appropriate in your circumstances.
What is Family Dispute Resolution (FDR)?
Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) is a legally required step for non-agreeing parents who are unable to reach decisions regarding their children’s care and well-being. Before applying to the Family Court, Australian parents must first attempt mediation through FDR. This process allows both parties to explore solutions in a neutral, non-confrontational environment, focusing on what is best for the children.
At Settled Now Mediation, we specialise in resolving parenting disputes efficiently and peacefully. If mediation doesn’t lead to an agreement, we ensure you receive a 60I Certificate within 5 days, allowing you to proceed without unnecessary delays. Even if the other party is uncooperative or refuses mediation, you may still be eligible for a Section 60I Certificate. Learn more about what your options are when the other party doesn’t engage in FDR.
Why Choose Family Mediation for Parenting Disputes?
Mediation provides a quicker and more affordable solution compared to the prolonged and stressful process of going to court. For parents who are unable to agree, mediation offers an opportunity to resolve conflicts and reach mutual decisions on parenting arrangements, child support, and other key issues. Discover why mediation is a more efficient alternative to litigation in family disputes here.
