Use Family Law Mediation To Safely Resolve Family Disputes

After divorce and separation, most people speak with a solicitor. But not all their concerns are legal matters. Many of them don’t believe the Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) process can help sort out their problems. This article looks at the role that lawyers, FDRPs and the Courts play in the new family law process. It also explains the FDR process.

 

Your Lawyer Australian law uses an adversarial process. Anne-Marie Rice, the senior registrar at the Federal Circuit and Family Court (FCFCOA), says, “…lawyers are trained to find as many areas of disagreement as possible…”. The process includes trying to make the other person look bad by digging up dirt on them. It’s easy to see how people can feel betrayed and defensive. The practice looks a lot like pouring petrol on a fire. (But you need them if all else fails)

The Court agrees that increasing division is not the best way to deal with people already in conflict. The adversarial court system clashes with the need for parents to cooperate. It knows that battles over children and property often hide relationship problems. It also knows that continuing parental conflict can harm children’s long-term welfare. The Court views FDR as the best way to address the issues. Even if the parties can’t agree on everything, they take fewer matters to Court, saving themselves money and time. (66)

 

Mediation is a deceptively simple process. First, two or more people get together in a safe space. Then, with the help of a mediator, they talk about their problems and work together to find solutions.

 

During the pre-mediation stage of FDR, the Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners (FDRP) acts as a coach. They make sure you understand the Mediation process, can participate fully in the negotiation and are aware of the court process.

 

When mediation begins, Your FDRP acts as a neutral third party. They will facilitate your negotiation and manage the mediation process. They will not tell you what to talk about or suggest any specific result.

 

What happens during mediation? First, your FDRP will ask both sides to talk about the issues that concern them. Then they will help you identify and name these concerns, including possible bad behaviour. By focusing on the problems and not each other, both sides can discuss matters and explore viable answers. The process helps to avoid blaming and encourages people to think about their future needs

 

 

What if it doesn’t work? Of course, FDR doesn’t work for everyone. Some matters involving family violence and abuse are still best dealt with by the courts. Safety is always a primary concern. FDRPs specialised training in family law includes screening and assessing families for family violence and child abuse.

 

Blame and accusation are still significant causes of conflict after divorce and separation. Some people just find it hard to adjust to the changes. Their difficulty may be caused by:

  • Anger over the way the relationship ended.
  • Hoping that they can get back together at some stage
  • Issues such as addiction, mental or physical health problems
  • Cultural issues

 

When your dispute involves children or property, you must attend Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) to obtain a Section 60I or a Genuine Steps Certificate. Why not work with your FDRP and use the FDR process to help safely resolve your dispute?. You have nothing to lose.
