At Summit Conflict Resolution Janelle offers a range of Mediation and Family Dispute Resolution services as a compassionate and cost-effective means to help families navigate disputes, reducing financial pressures and emotional strains.
Cost-effective resolution
Mediation has been proven to be a cost effective way to settle disputes in various areas, including parenting disputes, matrimonial or de facto property settlements.
At Summit Conflict Resolution, Janelle has the expertise and experience to guide you through the Mediation process, saving you both time and money.
A Mediation Agreement Can Be Legally Binding
All Mediation agreements can be drafted into a legally binding documents such as Consent Orders or a Binding Financial Agreement. Once both parties come to an agreement, it can be formalised into a consent order and submitted to the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia for approval to become legally enforceable.
While family dispute resolution practitioners provide the framework for parties to negotiate and reach a mutually acceptable agreement, a family lawyer can provide legal advice to ensure you understand your obligations, rights and the implications of any agreement, ensuring the Mediation session’s outcomes are fair and equitable.
After Mediation or Family Dispute Resolution, your Family Law Solicitor can assist you in drafting the agreements reached into a legally enforceable document.
Confidentiality in Mediation
Confidential Mediation means that what is discussed in the Mediation cannot be used as evidence in court, nor can the offers made be disclosed in the court room by any party without the strict written consent of ALL parties to the dispute.
This encourages open and honest communication between parties during the Mediation process without the fear that should the matter not settle, the offers made during the Mediation will be used against a party if the matter proceeds to court.
What do I do if we have reached an Agreement and it isn’t being followed?
If your ex-partner is not following the agreed-upon Parenting Plan or Consent Orders you have reached together, you might first consider discussing the issue in a Mediation or Family Dispute Resolution session to seek amendments to the agreement and why it has not worked, or to attempt to reach another further resolution. If this is not successful or concerns exist about Domestic and Family Violence or coercive and controlling behaviour, a family lawyer can then advise you on the next steps, which may involve court intervention.
At Summit Conflict Resolution, Janelle prioritise compassionate guidance, personalised service, and transparent fees in her Mediation process.
