Common Family Dispute Challenges

01

I can't afford a long court battle

Legal fees spiral quickly when lawyers are billing by the hour. Mediation costs a fraction of court proceedings and typically resolves in weeks, not years.

02

I want to protect my children from this mess

Court battles become public record and drag families through an adversarial process. Mediation keeps your private matters private and focuses on solutions that work for everyone.

03

My ex won't talk to me - how can mediation work?

You don’t need to speak directly to each other. Lisanne facilitates the conversation, keeping discussions productive and on track toward agreement.

04

What if we can't reach an agreement?

Not every case suits mediation, and that’s fine. If your situation needs court intervention, Lisanne will tell you upfront – no wasted time or false hope.

Common questions

Mediation Questions Answered

How much does family mediation cost in Perth?

Mediation typically costs $200-400 per hour, split between parties. Most cases resolve in 4-8 hours total, compared to $20,000+ for court proceedings.

How long does the mediation process take?

Most family disputes resolve within 2-4 sessions over 4-6 weeks. Complex property matters may take longer, but still months faster than court.

What happens if my ex refuses to participate in mediation?

We can often encourage reluctant parties by explaining the benefits and addressing their concerns. If they still refuse, you’ll have a certificate for court showing you attempted mediation first.

Is online mediation as effective as face-to-face sessions?

Yes, many clients prefer online sessions as they feel more comfortable in their own space. The technology is secure and designed specifically for confidential discussions.

Do I need a lawyer during mediation?

Not required, but you can consult lawyers independently for advice. Lisanne’s legal background means she can spot issues that need legal review.

What disputes can be resolved through family mediation?

Property settlement, parenting arrangements, spousal maintenance, and business asset division. We can’t handle cases involving domestic violence or where court orders already exist.
