Family dispute resolution

Family dispute resolution (FDR) is a process designed to help families, especially parents, resolve conflicts amicably without going to court. It typically involves mediation, where an impartial mediator guides discussions to help parties reach mutually acceptable agreements about issues like child custody, support, and property division. FDR emphasizes communication, understanding, and collaboration, aiming to preserve relationships while addressing the needs of all family members, particularly children. It's often a more cost-effective and quicker alternative to legal proceedings, fostering a supportive environment for parties to find solutions that work for everyone involved.
