FAMILY LAW MEDIATION COSTS IN BRISBANE
Mediation is a cost-effective process that encourages the outcome of a win-win resolution for both parties within a short space of time. Mediation costs are typically low as the process usually only lasts one or two days, and the resources required are limited to that of the parties involved.
Mediation fees are usually split between the parties in dispute, furthering the affordability of the process and the hope for a mutually-beneficial outcome. Additionally, research and discovery costs, court fees, and expert witness expenses are eliminated by avoiding litigation.

Online Mediation
We offer a product for people wanting to attend mediation without legal representation, or with legal representation but online. We have partnered with Family Property which provides an online platform to enter information required for mediation which is then used to generate useful tools for mediation including a mediation statement and schedule of assets and liabilities as well as draft consent orders. If you choose this product we will send you a link to complete online information which is confidential to the mediator unless you authorise the sharing of information. The cost of selecting this option is $2,600 for half-day mediation and $4,500 for full-day mediation.
Family Property allows you to upload relevant financial documentation for the attention of the mediator, so all relevant documents are available on the day of mediation.
