Thank you so much to all of my valued referrers for entrusting your clients with me to help them resolve their family law property and parenting settlements. The past 6 months have been busier than ever.

I am introducing a small fee increase for mediations booked after 1 July - a half day (4 hour) mediation will now cost $1,100 per party and a full day (7 hour) mediation will be $1,925.

Are you a separated family and don’t yet have arrangements confirmed for the children over the July school holidays? Consider mediation as option to get some workable arrangements in place between both parents that don’t require ongoing back and forth texts and phone calls.

Jillaine has been helping separated families sort out the living and care arrangements for their children for nearly 30 years and can always think of a solution.

Some days are tougher than others but helping a family resolve their litigated property settlement proceedings makes it all worth while.

We wish them all the very best for the future.

What is financial disclosure?

Anyone who is involved in a family law property settlement is required by the Court Rules to be transparent about their finances. This includes their income, expenditure, assets, liabilities and superannuation.

Documentation about all of these issues is generally exchanged between the parties prior to negotiations commencing and commonly includes things like bank account statements, income tax returns, payslips, superannuation statements, loan statements and information about shares or other assets.

The provision of this financial material is essential if parties are to negotiate in the full knowledge of the composition of their property pool. The Court sometimes describes it as ‘laying your cards on the table, face up’. It’s a great description.

What is an intake call and is it really necessary?

I conduct an intake call with each party in every mediation I’m involved in because I find the calls to be a valuable tool to establish rapport, answer any questions people might have and gain a better understanding of the interpersonal issues between the parties.

Before each mediation, I receive paperwork from both lawyers (often referred to as Position Papers) and these help me understand the legal issues that we will be addressing in the mediation. But an intake phone call gives me some personal perspective of both sides and allows me to calm nerves!

You can't get much further apart geographically on mainland Australia than the mediation I conducted last week.

I am in Camden, outside of Sydney, and the parties in this mediation were based in Darwin and in Perth. Huge distances! But we were able to bridge the gap with the wonders of Zoom to enable the parties to reach agreement and get themselves out of the Court system.

It was hugely satisfying.

In addition to my private mediation work, I sit on a panel of 10 senior mediators across Australia who undertake Conciliation Conferences on behalf of the Family Court, assisting people to reach agreement on property issues and end their litigation. In that role, I conduct family law property mediations to parties all over Australia, including the NT, South Australia, Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales.

It's really great helping people resolve their Court proceedings and it's nice when they are satisfied with the process.

Can I bring a support person to the Mediation?

Mediation is generally conducted only with the parties and legal representatives present in the Mediation room, but it may be possible for you to have a support person in your breakout room, regardless of whether your Mediation is being conducted in person or online.

The support person does not enter the main Mediation room but is available to speak to you about the offers that are taking place when you’re present only with the Mediator. We need to obtain the consent of the other party if you would like a support person to attend with you so please do provide us with notice of this. The other party may also ask to bring a support person.

When you’re thinking about someone to bring along, we recommend you choose someone who is level headed, has your best interests at heart and can remain sensible and balanced in their responses to things. When you're feeling emotional and overwhelmed, it’s really helpful to have a steady presence in the room who can give you honest feedback.
