COMMON SENSE DIVORCE
Mediation of Divorce issues -
A Process we call "Common Sense Divorce"
Did you know that you can both meet with an experienced family
lawyer and mediator before you engage your own lawyers thus limiting the possibility of unnecessary
litigation? Probably not, because this service is not offered by other family lawyers or mediators.
It makes sense doesn't it. You may both have similar thoughts about how your divorce should proceed and the
outcomes both with respect to children and property issues or you may be poles apart.
Our mediator can tell you (because he is an experienced and
accredited family law
specialist):
|
|
|
Find out what the Family Law Act says about how
arrangements for children should be resolved.
|
|
Find out what the Family Law Act says about the
factors which a court must address in determining
how property should be divided between husbands and wives and defacto couples.
|
|
Find out about the formulae under the Child Support
legislation and how will it apply to your particular circumstances.
|
 |
Contact FLMS and make an appointment.
We are flexible in our approach to initial
appointments and can speak with you by telephone, on line video conferencing and of course in
person at our offices at Springwood and Helensvale. The cost is only $110.
|
 |
Get the information you need from an impartial family
law mediator.
|
 |
You decide how to move forward to resolve your family
law issues.
|
This may be by:
 |
Continuation of mediation with our mediator and family
dispute resolution practitioner;
|
 |
Entry into a Collaborative
Law process where the mediator will advance matters by acting
as the collaborative lawyer for one of you and will put your
partner in contact with an experienced collaborative
family lawyer.
|
 |
Referral to other experienced family lawyers for other
processes such as "round table negotiation" or if necessary
litigation if mediation or collaborative law are not suitable because of your particular circumstances.
|
 |
Even if you both retain
other lawyers our mediator can remain in the process, acting as an impartial
guide ensuring that you have the best possible outcomes
without proceeding to litigation. Of course you
would both need to agree to keep the mediator involved.
