We understand the stress that separating parties endure and aim to provide the best and cost-effective outcome for mediating parties.
Should you negotiate?
Almost always, and ideally as early as possible. A family dispute lawyer in Frankston can help you understand the best way to resolve your matter without unnecessary court delays.
Resolution options include:
- Informal negotiation– Guided by legal advice, not emotion
- Round table conference – Lawyers and both parties meet before court documents are filed
- Mediation – A neutral mediator assists both parties in working through key issues
- Case assessment conference – Conducted by a registrar once proceedings begin
- Conciliation conference – Structured sessions focusing on property settlements
- Door of the court – Negotiation even during court dates
- Collaborative law – Formal process where both parties agree not to litigate
In rare cases, doing nothing may be strategically right. However, legal advice is essential before deciding to wait.
Mediation remains one of the most effective and widely used methods to resolve family disputes. Whether your matter involves financial division, care arrangements for children, or both, a family dispute lawyer in Frankston can support you with clear advice and connection to trusted mediators.

Our circumstances in engaging JFL were due to the sudden and tragic passing of my sister. Sally assisted our family through complex legal proceedings as we sought full parental responsibilities for her three children, my nieces and nephew.
Sally was able to shift from holding my hand and passing tissues, to providing practical solutions, advice and guidance on how best to navigate the legal system and achieve what was in the best interest of the kids.
Thank you Sally, we will never be able to express how much you did for us and how your counsel and friendship helped us navigate an incredibly difficult time.
No hesitation at all in recommending Sally, and the JFL team.
