Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) has complimented my mediation and counselling practice. After completing collaborative law practice in the family law jurisdiction and then becoming a nationally accredited mediator I was beginning to work more in the family law space. This combination of experience enabled a very balanced and holistic approach with FDR.
Today it is becoming more apparent that not all cases have to end up in court or be bitterly litigated. There are so many more mutually beneficial, collaborative processes and ways of dispute resolution that can and will benefit the client, particularly children – financially, emotionally and in a timelier manner.
