Get to Know Us
Settled Now Mediation specialises in guiding families through the complexities of family dispute resolution and mediation without the need for court intervention. Our mission is to facilitate respectful communication and mutually beneficial outcomes for all parties involved, regardless of where they are located in Australia.
​
Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) is a structured and supportive negotiation process led by our impartial, Nationally Accredited Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners. This approach empowers families to collaboratively address parenting disputes and property division, crafting solutions that meet their unique circumstances.
​
Our "No Office" Approach
We believe that resolving sensitive family matters shouldn’t be made harder by stressful commutes or uncomfortable waiting rooms. Because family law is federal, we provide fully remote services across Australia (excluding WA). Most of our clients prefer to mediate electronically from the privacy and comfort of their own homes, allowing for a faster, more relaxed, and more focused resolution.
While we are a digital-first firm, we remain proud of our roots in South East Queensland. Should you prefer a face-to-face session, we are happy to facilitate this in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, or the Sunshine Coast.
​
Whether you are across the street or across the country, Settled Now Mediation is here to help you navigate these challenges with expertise, speed, and care.
Common family law disputes effectively addressed through mediation include:
-
Parenting arrangements and parenting disputes
-
Property settlements and divisions (and/or other relevant financial matters)
-
Child support and maintenance
-
Co-parenting communication breakdowns
-
Spousal maintenance and spousal support
Who can benefit from Settled Now?
Our Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) services are designed for individuals navigating separation or divorce who are committed to finding amicable resolutions. We help families across Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast foster constructive dialogue and achieve positive outcomes during these challenging times.
Is family law mediation right for me?
Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) is suitable for families at any stage of their dispute. Whether you’re just beginning to navigate separation or facing ongoing challenges post-divorce, mediation offers a supportive and cost-effective alternative to litigation. Our services are tailored for those dealing with parenting disputes, property settlements, and other family law issues across South East Queensland.
Cost comparison: Mediation vs. Court Proceedings
The cost of family law mediation is significantly lower compared to traditional court proceedings. While mediation expenses typically amount to a fraction of litigation costs, the process allows families to retain control over decision-making and promotes long-term cooperation. Mediation is an affordable and efficient alternative to costly and prolonged court battles, ensuring a smoother resolution for disputes.
