Non Court Dispute Resolution

What is Family Mediation?

Family Mediation is a Non Court Dispute Resolution — making your own decisions, rather than asking the family court to make decisions for you.

My name is Milly and I am a trained, independent, neutral third party that can support you to make childcare arrangements and/or make decisions about finances and/or property. I am also an accredited Child Inclusive Mediator.

Why use a mediator?

Sounds like common sense — so why use a mediator?

I am there to help you through disagreements and find solutions that work for you both, and explain how to make the agreement you reach legally binding, should you wish to do so.

As a trained, accredited mediator I provide a safe, structured environment where both parties can speak openly and work towards practical, lasting agreements — without the stress and cost of court.
