Mediation & Family Dispute Resolution
Mediation provides a confidential, cost-effective alternative to court. A trained mediator supports both parties to negotiate workable solutions around property, finances and children.
-
Benefits of mediation include:
-
Reducing legal costs and delays.
-
Preserving ongoing family, business or community relationships.
-
Maintaining privacy outside of court.
-
Allowing flexible timing compared to court schedules.
At Resolution Partners, we provide accredited Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) services in Brisbane. Our FDR practitioners are registered with the Attorney-General’s Department and can issue Section 60I certificates where required under the Family Law Act 1975.

Child-Inclusive Mediation
When parents cannot agree on what’s best for their children, Child-Inclusive Mediation brings the child’s voice into the process in a safe, age-appropriate way. A qualified Child Consultant meets with your child or adolescent, then provides feedback (with their consent) to you and the mediator, ensuring parenting arrangements reflect your child’s needs.
​
The process:
-
Confidential intake sessions with each parent.
-
Child sessions with the consultant (play and discussion).
-
Feedback and joint mediation session with both parents.
​
This approach supports child-focused agreements that promote wellbeing and reduce conflict.
Parenting Coordination
Even with Court Orders or a parenting plan in place, day-to-day disputes can arise. Parenting Coordination is a child-centred dispute resolution process that helps separated parents reduce conflict, improve communication and focus on their children’s needs.
​
Parenting coordinators can assist with:
-
Managing disagreements and resolving disputes.
-
Facilitating constructive communication.
-
Supporting joint decision-making on education, health and activities.
-
Coordinating schedules and changeovers.
-
Providing education on co-parenting and child development.
​
Parenting Coordination can be engaged voluntarily or by court order in high-conflict matters.
Collaborative Practice
Collaborative Practice is a non-adversarial approach to resolving family law disputes. Instead of going to court, each party works with a team of professionals – including lawyers, financial specialists and mental health experts – to reach respectful, lasting agreements.
