Admin Intake Joint
Session Outcome

You’ve decided
you need
mediation and
have contact us
and we
organise the
FDR process
The FDRP then hears
your perspective of
the family situation
and that of your ex-
partner separately
and individually and
your legal issues
from your lawyers, if
you wish.
The mediation
is carried out,
and an
outcome is
reached
The outcome is
distributed to all parties
and stakeholders, which
can be formalised as a
plan, orders or
Agreement by your
lawyer, or alternatively
issuing a s60i
certificate.
