Mediation

Finding resolution through mediation.

NLS Law offers mediation services that help clients resolve disputes in a way that is efficient, cost-effective and less stressful than going to court. Whether you’re navigating a family law matter, parenting dispute, property settlement or civil disagreement, mediation provides a structured environment where both parties can be heard and supported to find a workable solution.

When is mediation the right option

Mediation is a widely used and strongly encouraged method for resolving disputes involving parenting and property. The Family Law Act 1975 promotes the use of mediation as a way to help parties reach agreement without the need for court intervention. For parenting matters, mediation is often a required step before court proceedings can begin. While it’s not always mandatory for property matters, it is still a recommended approach that can save time, reduce costs and minimise conflict.

Mediation is particularly effective in family law matters where preserving relationships, especially where children are involved, is a priority. If you’re looking for a more private, cost-effective and timely way to resolve parenting, property or financial disputes, mediation offers a constructive path forward. It’s also commonly required before court proceedings can commence, making it a practical first step for many family law matters.
