FAMILY MEDIATION

 

Mediation is less expensive, less time-consuming and less damaging than litigation. It leaves the control of the outcome with you and allows you to fashion your own solutions.

​

Child-Centred mediation focuses on the rights of children.  ISDR provides opportunities for the voice of children to be heard during the mediation process in every case.

​

Mediation enables the possibility for relationships to be repaired.

PARENTING COORDINATION

​

In 2020 ISDR began offering Parenting Coordination for parents who find themselves in enduring high conflict with the other parent.  Parenting Coordination is a form of medium term case management for families, which aims to provide assistance in making the adjustments necessary for the whole family to move on with their lives.

​​

Parenting Coordination

 

​

 We work with families  affected by separation and divorce to resolve  parenting and  property issues.  We also work with families where  discussions  about the care of aging parents need to occur. 

​

 ISDR values 

  • SAFETY of everyone in a family, 

  • PARTICIPATION across the family system including children, 

  • SELF DETERMINATION  in decisions about the future, and informed CHOICE.

 

 All our mediators are registered Family Dispute Resolution  

 Practitioners and are able to issue Section 60I certificates where  appropriate under the Family Law Act.
