Effective Divorce Dispute Resolution Services

Are you struggling through a marriage breakdown? Get in touch with O’Sullivan Mediation for reliable family dispute resolution!

Divorce dispute resolution refers to legal services designed to help individuals resolve their issues without ever having to go to court. In the eyes of the courts and the wider legal system, family dispute resolution is viewed as a more affordable and quicker option. Moreover, it provides you with a greater level of control and management of the overall process.

Is the process compulsory?

As a process, divorce dispute resolution is now compulsory in Australia. This means that conflicting couples must now go through the process and demonstrate that they have made reasonable and genuine efforts to resolve their relationship issues, before going through the court system. If such discussions fail, you will need a certificate from your family dispute resolution mediator in order to apply to the courts for a parenting order.

What does the process involve?

The divorce dispute resolution process is relatively straightforward. Firstly, your practitioner will guide you and your spouse to identify the issues that need to be resolved. Throughout the discussions, both parties need to listen to each other without any interruption (as a sign of respect and commitment to the process). Participants need to be prepared to compromise and committed to reaching a viable and fair resolution for all parties involved.

All relevant information needs to be shared, so that the practitioner can begin brainstorming options and ideas that could possibly resolve the current predicament. If both parties can agree on the proposed solutions, the new plan moving forward needs to be put in writing, so it can be formally signed and agreed to by both parties.

Who is the practitioner and how much power do they have?

A family dispute resolution practitioner is an independent third party. They are specially trained in divorce mediation and negotiation services, often specialising in marriage breakdowns. It is important to remember that their decisions are not legally binding, unlike parenting or consent orders that are created in courts, and as such, are legal binding documents.

What are the benefits of family dispute resolution?

There are many great benefits of getting in touch with lawyer or mediator who is trained in divorce dispute resolution services (like O’Sullivan Mediation). Some of these include:

Money saver

Divorce dispute resolution services can save couples a lot of money and time when it comes to resolving their issues. It’s much cheaper to go through a neutral mediator as opposed to battling through costly court processes.

Easier to solve future problems

Using a mediator is also beneficial because the advice they provide you can be used as a structure to deal with future issues and conflict.

Less stressful than court proceedings

Going through the courts can be traumatic and stressful, especially if young children are involved. Fortunately, your divorce dispute resolution procedures won’t be anywhere near as emotionally draining or damaging as a bitter court battle with your ex-partner.

Promotes communication

Another benefit of going through mediation is the fact that the process inherently promotes communication and cooperation between the two parties. This can be helpful when creating long-term agreements, since people are less likely to breach agreements they agreed to and created themselves.
