Parenting Mediation

At Mutual Mediation, our services are designed to ensure compliance with the necessary legal requirements, providing a informative and supportive space for parents to come to their own agreements in relation to their children and parenting arrangements.


  • Compulsory Mediation: Mediation is a mandatory step under Australian Family Law for separated parents to attend family dispute resolution before applying to a family court for parenting orders. These sessions aim to resolve disputes amicably, focusing on the best interests of the children involved.
  • Parenting Plans and Consent Orders: When an agreement is reached, we will prepare a parenting plan. This is a good faith agreement and is not legally binding. If both parents agree and want to make the parenting plan legally binding you are able to draft and lodge consent orders without the need for a court hearing. Legal documents, once approved by the court, formalise your parenting arrangements, ensuring they are recognised and enforceable under the law.
  • Certificates: If an agreement cannot be reached in family dispute mediation, our family dispute practitioner will issue a Section 60I Certificate. This will enable both parties to commence proceedings in court.


Together, let's navigate the path to harmonious co-parenting and ensure a positive future for your children. Contact Mutual Mediation today for support in Kingscliff and surrounding areas.
