About Our Process


The process we adopt at Friedlieb Fox McLeod Solicitors is designed with the sole aim of achieving a resolution that is in the best interests of the child and agreeable to all parties involved. It begins with an initial consultation where we discuss and understand your parenting dispute in detail. Following this, a conflict assessment is conducted to gain a comprehensive understanding of the underlying issues and concerns.


Once we have a full picture of the situation, our mediators can step in to facilitate discussions between the involved parties. This stage is designed to promote open communication and cooperation, laying the groundwork for the negotiation and agreement phase. We strive to reach a parenting agreement that meets the needs of both parents while prioritising the child's best interests.


If an agreement is reached, we then develop a comprehensive parenting plan that outlines custody arrangements, visitation schedules and decision-making responsibilities. If mediation and negotiation do not result in a satisfactory agreement, we can provide legal support and representation designed to guard your interests and those of your child.


Through each step of this process, we are dedicated to maintaining a child-centred approach, striving to create a stable and supportive co-parenting environment. By working towards resolving disputes amicably and cooperatively, we aim to reduce conflict and stress for all parties involved, with the intention of offering a viable and often cost-effective alternative to prolonged legal battles.

FAQs


  • Can you help with parenting disputes and mediation?

    We offer mediation services to help resolve parenting disputes amicably, reducing the need for contentious legal proceedings.

  • How can mediation help in resolving parenting disputes?

    Mediation can be a constructive way to facilitate discussions and agreements between disputing parents. A neutral third party, the mediator, helps guide the conversation and encourages cooperation to find mutually agreeable solutions that prioritise the child's best interests.

  • What happens if mediation does not result in an agreement?

    If an agreement cannot be reached through mediation, legal representation may be necessary. This typically involves going to court where a judge will make the final decision. The aim is to protect the interests of the child and the parents, striving for an outcome that prioritises the child's welfare and stability.
