In this episode, Dianne and Alina clarify that you’re not required by law to involve lawyers or barristers to participate in Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) mediation. FDR practitioners are specially trained in family law and conflict resolution, focusing first and foremost on the best interests of the children. They help both parties communicate and find practical, tailored solutions without getting caught up in legal battles.
