A Little more detail.....
When an agreement is made and both parties sign it in agreeance, this is called a Parenting Plan.
This is not legally binding.
If you wish to formalise a Parenting Plan into a Consent Order (Legally Binding), we can provide you with information about how to go about doing this.
Fees are charged per parent, which means unless otherwise agreed, each parent is charged $1452 (ex GST) per day of mediation.
The mediation fee is payable at the time of booking.
If property mediation is also required, one day will not be suitable, and will need to book at least two days for mediation not less than two (2) weeks apart.
It is STRONGLY advised that all parties seek legal advice either before or during the mediation process.
Practitioners CANNOT give legal or financial advice.
Terms & Conditions
The full and total fee for mediation is payable at the time of booking unless otherwise agreed upon between the practitioner and client.
If either party does not attend or withdraws from the mediation, unless the mediation is rebooked within 48 hours, this payment is forfeited and will not be refunded.
The balance of the fee is payable by each party, no less than 48hrs prior to the mediation.
Not all mediations will fit the four hour model, therefore an whole day option is available or per hour per party after the first four hours.
Any fees or costs associated with travel or weekend mediation sessions are not included in the above price schedule and are payable in full before mediation day. Venue hire fees may also apply.
