Family Intermediary can assist you with your Parenting Mediation and Property Mediation Matters. The end goal is to reach a comprehensive agreement that meets both parti’s interests.

Mediation is a non-litigious way to resolve conflict with the assistance of a qualified mediator. Family Intermediary have highly qualified mediators who can assist you with your matter.

A Parenting Plan is a formal agreement between parties stipulating their current and future obligations to their children. Family Intermediary can assist with setting up mediation between you and your ex-partner with a view to formalising your parenting plan.

You can also purchase a Parenting Plan Template if you are amicable or download our FREE Parenting Plan Checklist.

Awareness is key. In trying to understand your children or teens it is important to do your homework and get a sense of where they are developmentally to be acting the way they are acting. What is the science behind some of the actions and behaviours that are manifesting in their lives?

The mediation intake session is a deep dive into your past and present circumstances to help the mediator understand your story and to highlight what you might need assistance with unpacking in your mediation session.

Mediation clients are often quite nervous prior to their intake session as they don’t know what to expect. We have summarised some of the important questions you will be asked in a mediation intake session in this blog.

Mediation Meets Technology!!!

Are you technology averse? Technology can be quite daunting when you don’t know how to use it, but when you do there are a lot of wonderful things that you can do with it and you might never want to live without it.

How to effectively correct your child and help them learn and grow is an important aspect of parenting that we as parents get wrong.

If threatening and instilling fear have been your approaches you completely miss the mark. Connection is the golden currency in parenting.

What does good parenting look like?

If perfect parenting doesn’t exist then what should be the benchmark?

The evidence-based parenting course, Tuning into Kids seeks to help you understand your children and foster deep connections with them. This reduces points of conflict and behaviours in your child simply based on your ability to listen and show understanding.

Rushing is not the solution. The process can be lengthy and painful for all, but in the long run it will benefit the client.

About Family Intermediary.

Mediation is the best avenue to deal with post-separation parenting matters. Where participants cannot attend mediation a certificate might be issued to provide an alternative.

Knowing what to say and do when our children show strong emotions or any emotion for that matter is the key to positive parenting outcomes. Rejecting emotions and punishing children for expressing emotions is detrimental and has lifelong negative effects.

Break the cycle of family and domestic violence. Recognise the signs.

One of the core facets of the mediation process is that it is a confidential process. This means that provides a safe space for clients to share as much information with the mediator as will be required for successful mediation.

For the mediation process to run smoothly and in an orderly fashion all parties have to contract to follow some guidelines. We explore some of these guidelines in this blog.
