In every family law case, negotiation plays a vital role. It's the starting point towards reaching an agreement with your ex-partner. If you're unsure about initiating this process, the true first step is reaching out to a seasoned solicitor. With expert assistance, you'll gain a comprehensive understanding of the process and find the path to a resolution more approachable.

Family law cases typically require at least one Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) event, such as mediation or a conciliation conference. For children's matters, a Section 60I certificate is necessary to proceed to court, unless exemptions apply.

At court, options include Informal Conferences with all parties and their lawyers, or private mediations facilitated by certified mediators. Court-ordered conferences often enlist the aid of a court Registrar.

ADR events can be intimidating, especially for first-time litigants. However, a well-thought-out plan can mitigate this stress and maximize the use of your conference time.
