01

"The lawyers are making everything worse"

Legal battles turn children into weapons and drain your savings. We focus on solutions, not conflict, helping you avoid costly court proceedings.

02

"My ex won't communicate properly about the kids"

Heated arguments help no one, especially your children. We create structured discussions that keep emotions in check and focus on practical arrangements.

03

"I don't know what's fair or reasonable"

Without clear guidelines, every decision becomes a fight. We help you establish fair arrangements based on what actually works for your family.

04

"The kids are caught in the middle"

Children suffer when parents can’t agree on basic arrangements. We develop child-focused solutions that prioritise their wellbeing and stability.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does parenting mediation cost in Perth?

Initial consultations are free for 15 minutes. Full mediation sessions are typically much less expensive than legal proceedings, with costs discussed upfront during your consultation.

How long does the mediation process take?

Most parenting arrangements can be resolved in 1-3 sessions, depending on complexity. Each session runs for 1-2 hours, and we work at a pace that suits both parents.

Do both parents need to attend online sessions?

Yes, both parents participate in joint sessions via secure video call. We also offer individual pre-mediation sessions if needed to prepare.

What if my ex-partner is being unreasonable?

We’re experienced in managing high-conflict situations and difficult personalities. Our structured approach keeps discussions focused on the children’s needs rather than past grievances.

Is mediation legally binding in Australia?

Agreements reached in mediation can be made legally binding through parenting plans or consent orders. We’ll explain your options during the process.

Can mediation work if there's been domestic violence?

Safety is our priority. We assess every situation individually and may recommend alternative dispute resolution methods if mediation isn’t appropriate.

What's covered in a parenting mediation session?

We discuss living arrangements, school decisions, holiday schedules, communication methods, and any other issues affecting your children. The focus is always on practical solutions.
