I don't know if mediation will actually work

You’re worried about wasting time and money on something that might not resolve anything. Lisanne will tell you upfront if your situation suits mediation or if you need a different approach.

I need someone who gets the legal side too

You’re dealing with property, custody, or financial matters that need proper legal understanding. Lisanne’s legal background means she spots issues other mediators miss.

Simple disputes often resolve in one 3-hour session. More complex matters typically take 2-4 sessions spread over 4-8 weeks.

Do both parties need to agree to mediation?

Yes, mediation is voluntary and both parties must consent to participate. If one party refuses, we can discuss alternative dispute resolution options.

Can mediation handle property settlements and custody arrangements?

Absolutely. These are the most common family law matters we mediate. Any agreements reached can be made legally binding through consent orders.

About 80% of cases reach full or partial agreement. If yours doesn’t, you haven’t wasted your time – you’ll have clarity on the real issues for any future legal proceedings.

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

Research shows online mediation has similar success rates to in-person sessions. Many clients find it less confrontational and more comfortable than meeting in person.

Are mediation agreements legally binding in Australia?

Mediated agreements become legally binding when converted to consent orders through the Family Court. We can guide you through this process.
