Family Dispute Resolution (FDR)

Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) is a process where trained mediators help family members, often parents, resolve conflicts related to issues like separation, child custody, or property division. The goal is to facilitate open communication and mutual understanding, leading to agreements without needing to go to court. FDR is usually a voluntary and confidential process designed to assist families in reaching practical, fair decisions that prioritize their children’s wellbeing and future arrangements. It emphasizes cooperation and respectful discussion, helping families find solutions that work for everyone involved.
