Lawyer assisted family dispute resolution (FDR) is a mediation process where both parties have their lawyers present throughout a mediation session. It is often conducted through what is called a shuttle process (where each party is in a different room and the mediator moves between the rooms).

​

If you're separating in Canberra and your situation has some complicating factors, lawyer assisted FDR may be a useful option for you. Lawyer assisted mediation is particularly valuable for high-conflict situations or complex property divisions. The immediate availability of legal counsel helps ensure agreements are legally sound and may reduce the need for subsequent litigation and court applications.
