Mackay Mediation

Taking your family dispute to a family court is an expensive and stressful exercise that often poses more confrontation than mediation ever does. If you decide to pursue the mediation method with our Mackay team, you will be scheduled in for an initial consultation. In this consultation, our family law mediators will provide you with more information on various dispute resolution methods that will best suit you. Once you are satisfied with your consultation queries, we will make contact with your former partner to involve them in the mediation process.

Given we receive approval from your former partner, Mediations Australia will begin to schedule in the appropriate sessions to bring both parties together.

Once the sessions are scheduled, our Mackay family law mediators will begin to prepare you and your former partner for the mediation day.

Mediations can occur in many ways. You and your former partner may decide to sit across from each other in a” traditional” mediation form. Or you may decide to undergo the shuttle process whereby you and your partner will sit in separate rooms with a mediator between facilitating the discussion between each room. Either way, the ultimate goal is to achieve a mutually agreeable and legally binding dispute resolution.
