When it comes to solving family law disputes, you have the option of mediation or litigation. Mediation is voluntary and confidential, where a professional mediator helps both parties communicate and explore solution options. A mediator does not have the power to impose settlements but can help both parties come to an agreement on their own. However, if an agreement does not come together, the dispute may go through the litigation process.
Litigation is a legal process in which both parties present their cases to a judge. The judge then makes a decision based on the evidence and arguments presented.
The Adelaide family court system helps resolve family issues like divorce, child custody, property division, and spousal support. The Federal Circuit and the Family Court of Australia presides over Family Law matters.
The court encourages families to first try mediation to settle disputes outside of court. If mediation doesn’t work, the case goes to court, and ultimately if the parties cannot agree, this will result in a trial, where a judge listens to both sides and makes a decision.
In child custody cases, the court focuses on what is best for the children. For property and financial matters, the court aims for a fair division. The Adelaide Family Court system provides support and resources to help families through these challenging times.
