2. Family mediation and dispute resolution in Australia
is a way for family members to resolve their
differences amicably and in a comfortable
environment. Family disputes on the court docket
are first put through FDR to see if a solution can be
reached. It is also an alternative to keep disputes out
of the court system.

3. What can you expect when
you decide to experience
family dispute resolution in
Australia? First of all, while
attendance can be required by
the court system, the
agreements in FDR are not
actually legally binding and
are of course done by 3rd
party arbitration with
qualified specialists.

4. Family dispute resolution does require willing
participants, and each person is allowed to put their
opinions and point of views out there in the open.
Traditionally, it has been found that this type of
conflict resolution is the most ideal, handled outside
the court system.

5. It also helps families focus on resolving future
disputes that might arise. Of course, the entire
process is going to move along much faster than
the snail of a court system. And, it costs much
less money, too.

6. Individuals also get that control they would be
lacking in court in front of a judge. Not to
mention, handling things using family dispute
resolution and mediation is also going to put a lot
less stress on the situation and individuals
involved.

7. You may be wondering why this would be different
than having someone else sit in or perhaps solving
the dispute on your own. If you and your family are
able to solve the dispute, then that is what you
should do. But, the difference is that you are going
to be dealing with highly-qualified arbitrators that
are even-minded and are experienced in resolving
issues.

8. There is a process, and there
is going to have to be a
compromise. It's not like the
dispute experts can wave a
magic wand and make
everything fine again. They
do know, however, how to
guide you through the
process so that you can better
reach satisfying solutions.

9. Talking through lawyers and all that isn't for you,
right? Wouldn't you rather see if things can be
handled this way? You might be surprised at just
how easily everyone comes together when an
unbiased outsider steps in to help resolve your
dispute.
