Settlement Options

Although litigation has been a common method for resolving family law disputes, our experience has been that such issues are usually best resolved by other approaches which minimise conflict and expense.

Whenever possible we actively encourage and offer dispute resolution by utilising settlement conferences, medications and more recently, collaborative practice. We have a long history of participating in mediation work and our lawyers are trained in collaborative practice techniques so as to offer our clients a selection of approaches which take into account that they often need to have an ongoing relationship with their former spouse or partner.
