Mediation Services for Parenting and Property Separation
I provide calm, child-focused and future-focused family mediation for separating couples, including parenting arrangements, property settlement discussions and pet custody arrangements. Most mediations are held online (via Microsoft Teams), however in-person options available in Brisbane, Western Suburbs of Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich and Toowoomba. My role is to help you have a structured conversation, reduce conflict, and reach practical agreements—without the stress, delay and cost of court.
Whether you need support with parenting arrangements, property matters or pet custody, mediation offers a calm, structured pathway that helps you move forward with confidence.

How Mediation Works
-
The first step is a confidential no obligation phone call. That’s all it takes. We will talk about your needs and whether there is an agreement to mediate or whether an invitation needs to be sent to the other party.
-
Once you have decided that mediation is the way forward for you, if the other party needs to be sent an invitation, I send them an invitation to participate in family dispute resolution. If no agreement to participate is received in response to the invitation then a section 60I certificate can be issued.
-
Once the other party has agreed to participate in mediation, each party will get confidential intake forms. That will be followed by an intake call with me where each party can privately share concerns and goals. I will assess suitability for mediation during this stage.
-
A structured, supportive conversation designed to help you reach practical, workable agreements.
-
Agreements are summarised clearly, and where relevant, s60i certificates can be issued.
