People refer to ‘mediation’ in many different ways. It can be as informal as having a friend or family member helping to talk through the issues in dispute. It can also be a formal process involving a professional mediator.
Disputes can involve just two people in conflict, or include extended family members. Where there are issues related to child protection, mediation may involve full family group conferencing.
When disputes can’t be resolved by mediation, the matter may need to go to court for a judge to make decisions. Going to court is a long, stressful and expensive process. Mediation aims to avoid the situation reaching this point.

With the creation of the new family mediation offering, existing Smokeball clients who practice as mediators in family law and conduct mediation matters as part of their practice, can now start entering their family mediation matters into Smokeball and use the accompanying forms and precedents as well as the FamilyProperty integration. This matter is designed to be used by a mediator, rather than by a solicitor acting for one of the parties to a mediation.
