ADELAIDE FAMILY MEDIATION

Helping you move forward

Separation is a stressful and challenging time for you and your family. I know this because I have been through it. My personal experience with divorce provided me with the insight needed to develop a results-based family mediation service that respects and appreciates the difficulties you face while also providing the tools to help you resolve your disagreements.
​
Whether you pursue family mediation (sometimes referred to as family dispute resolution) as a means to resolve your parenting and property arrangements, or just a step in the process, you will be impressed with the sophisticated and attentive service that Adelaide Family Mediation provides and the quality results.

By choosing Adelaide Family Mediation, you are taking control of the decisions you need to make. Nevertheless, mediation with an ex-partner is often painful. As a mediator, it is our job to guide you through the necessary decisions concerning parenting and property while respecting your autonomy to make your own best choices.
​
We strive along the way to allow you to be heard and understood and listen to and understand the other party. This provides a foundation for compromise and choices that should make sense to both of you as you contemplate your new lives after separation.
​
For parents, mediation is a chance to design schedules and parenting roles and responsibilities that reflect your unique family. Additionally, as we help you understand this aspect of the negotiations, you may preserve a measure of your relationship or begin a new manner of communication as cooperative parents. Couples who mediated report an improved ability to parent for their children's benefit, thereby avoiding the all too common dynamic of placing the children in the middle of adult conflict.

A parenting plan puts the best interests of the child first. It provides certainty about the child's future, and the consistency can prevent future conflict between the parents. A written parenting plan that you have developed clarifies the arrangements to best care for your children.

The Plan can include things like shared parental responsibility for major long-term decision making, parenting styles, educational needs, emotional wellbeing and the time children spend with each parent. It will help everyone know what is expected of them, and it will be a valuable reference as time passes and circumstances change.
 

When parents reach agreements, they are more likely to cooperate as their children grow up. Children do best when their parents cooperate. Call Adelaide Family Mediation today to develop an affordable parenting plan that meets your families needs. 

Adelaide Family Mediation understands that the burden of separation or divorce is already stressful enough, and the thought of paying fees on top of that is frustrating. While some not for profit organisations will offer means-tested rates, they usually have long waiting lists and allocate a certain amount of time per client. Other mediation services will charge a fixed fee per hour, but that might be more expensive than you need or can afford.
​
Adelaide Family Mediation offers the best of both worlds. We determine session fees according to your household income. We are upfront about our prices and will tell you exactly how much you will need to pay before we start. 

​

We ask for payment before your session, and there are no further charges or hidden costs. Payment can be made in cash or by bank transfer. A cancellation fee of 60% will be charged if cancelling within 72 hours of the appointment, or 100% if cancelled on the day.

Parenting plan documentation fee $150.00 per parent. ​Property settlement document fee $200.00 per person.
We ask for payment before each session by bank transfer, EFTPOS or in cash, so that you don't receive a bill at the end.
