When relationships break down, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed, especially when children, finances, or shared property are involved. But not every family law matter needs to go to court.

Across Australia, there are several types of Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) and mediation processes that can help separated families resolve issues more calmly, affordably, and respectfully.

From standard FDR to mediation, child-inclusive approaches, conciliation conferences and court-based FDR, each option offers different levels of support depending on your situation.

If you're unsure which path is right for you, our team at De Saxe O’Neill Family Lawyers can help you understand your options and guide you through the process with care and clarity.

When parents separate, one of the most important steps is deciding how to care for the children.

Many families don’t realise there are two different ways to set up parenting arrangements.

Parenting Plans and Consent Orders.

Both outline where children live, who they spend time with, and how big decisions are made. However, they offer very different levels of flexibility, legal enforceability, and protection.

Understanding the difference can help you make the best choice for your family and create arrangements that truly work.

Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) is a confidential process that helps separating couples resolve parenting and family issues without going to court. It’s often a required step before applying to the Family Court for parenting orders.

FDR gives both parties the chance to:
→ Communicate with the support of an impartial practitioner
→ Reach agreements that are practical and child-focused
→ Reduce conflict and stay out of court where possible

At De Saxe O’Neill Family Lawyers, we support families through mediation and FDR with care and clarity, helping you move forward in a constructive, respectful way.

School holidays can be fun, or stressful, especially when you're co-parenting.

Whether it’s dividing time fairly, managing travel, or making sure the kids feel supported, a little planning goes a long way.

Here are a few ways separated parents can make the school holidays smoother:
✔️ Talk early
Agree on dates, handovers and travel well in advance
✔️ Keep the kids in the loop
Let them know what to expect and when
✔️ Stay flexible
Sometimes plans change, and that’s okay
✔️ Focus on fun
These breaks are about creating positive memories for your children

Need help updating your parenting arrangements or putting a holiday plan in place? We’re here to guide you.
