The Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) makes family dispute resolution (otherwise known as mediation) compulsory before applying to the Court for parenting orders. As a result, family dispute resolution providers and practitioners play a major role in the family law system.
For more information about family dispute resolution, see Arrangments for children, Coming to an agreement and for a list of providers in South Australia, see Family Mediation in our Service Directory.
Even though it is not compulsory to attempt family dispute resolution before applying to the Court for property orders, it can often prove useful. For more informaiton, see Dividing property, Coming to an agreement.
