Family Dispute Resolution (FDR)

Is a mandatory process for parties to engage with before filing an application with the court in all parenting matters (unless an exemption is granted). FDR is a process in which a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner (FDRP), who is independent of the parties, helps people to resolve some or all of their disputes arising from separation or divorce. This could be resolving:

  • Parenting Arrangements

  • Division of Property

  • Parenting Matters

  • Pet ownership

  • Manage parental conflict

  • Divorce Coaching

Where FDR is not suitable at any stage of the process, registered FDRP’s can provide a Section 60i Certificate which allows individuals to file an application with the court.

Initial Intake Session: $280

Mediation Session: $2000

Family separation often brings a deep emotional stress on finances, individuals, children and extended family members. Splitting a household increases living costs, strains resources, and can add legal burdens.
