For separating couples in Australia, understanding how much mediation costs is often a major concern.
Family mediation, also known as Family Dispute Resolution (FDR), offers a cost-effective way to resolve disputes about parenting arrangements and property settlements without going to court.
The cost of mediation in Australia varies depending on whether you choose a private mediator or community-based service, the complexity of your dispute, and the number of sessions required.
However, mediation is almost always significantly cheaper than litigation, which can cost $30,000 to over $100,000 per party.
At Unified Lawyers, our experienced family and mediation lawyers in Australia have helped families navigate mediation and achieve fair outcomes.
