Preeti Karan

As a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner (FDRP), I am authorised to issue Section 601 Certificates.

Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) (the Act), s 10F defines the term ‘Family Dispute Resolution’ as a process (other than a judicial process) in which a FDRP helps people affected, or likely to be affected, by separation or divorce to resolve some or all of their disputes with each other and in which the practitioner is independent of all the parties involved in the process.

The overriding legal obligation of FDRP is to ensure that during the discussions and when considering parenting arrangements, the best interests of the children is considered and promoted. The process must always be child focused.

What is regarded as in the “best interest of a child” is contained in the provisions of Part VII of the Act.

I have in depth knowledge of the Act and I can ensure all parties understand their obligations under the Act throughout the mediation process.
