The Move On Mediation Difference

The confidence to get started

Move On offers affordable family mediation in Perth, with fixed rates from around $1,250 per person (depending on the complexity of the issues). We offer fixed rates so that you know what you’re in for before you start and can begin your family mediation process with confidence.

This investment is a tiny fraction of the legal fees charged in the Family Law system when getting a divorce – where a standard divorce case going to trial could easily cost each party over $50,000 and might take as long as 3 years to get resolved.

Fixed fees

Our family mediation fees are a one-time fixed fee paid up front to enable you to move quickly and affordably.

We do not charge for time spent on your matters (like most lawyers do). We focus on getting you results quickly, not drawing out the family mediation process.

We don’t waste your time

We discuss matters confidentially with all parties to determine whether family mediation is appropriate. We work through the issues and outcomes you want and then have a formal family mediation session which might take the best part of a day.

Let’s take the stress out of it

You discuss and resolve the real issues in a safe environment. The emphasis is on mutually acceptable outcomes. The family mediation process avoids legal arguments and encourages positive discussions, not family disputes focusing on past conflicts.

What will you have to show for it?

Less stress for one.

The agreements you reach at family mediation are your agreements, not a judgment imposed by a Court.

When the issues are agreed during your family mediation, we will draft an agreement you may use as a Parenting Plan, a basis upon which to obtain independent family law information or to obtain formal Court Orders. So we do much of the paperwork for you.

Whether your issues are property settlement or about children, formal Court Orders are usually necessary for agreements to be legally binding and enforceable. They may also have significant financial advantages in property matters.

We will explain the process and requirements for getting formal orders from the Family Court in detail and provide material to guide you through that process – with or without lawyers.

The whole family mediation process should take no longer than 3-4 weeks from enquiry to agreement, rather than months or years.

The process was so much quicker and easier than I anticipated – after everything I have heard about lawyers! And it was re-assuring for me to know how much it was going to cost at the start, not when it was all over. Thanks, Ian. I’d recommend you to anyone who wants a solution seeker and quick results.
