Listen "What Do I Do if My Former Partner Will Not Do Mediation?"
Episode Synopsis
Facing a family law dispute but your former partner refuses to participate in mediation? You're not alone, and you're not powerless. In this episode, we explore the practical strategies and legal pathways available when mediation isn't an option. Join us as we unpack the real reasons behind mediation refusal - from fear and misunderstanding to emotional barriers - and learn how to address these concerns constructively. We'll guide you through your legal options, including Section 60i Certificates, alternative dispute resolution methods like collaborative law and arbitration, and when court proceedings might be necessary. Most importantly, discover how to protect your interests and your children's wellbeing throughout this challenging process, even when cooperation seems impossible. Whether you're dealing with parenting arrangements, property settlement, or both, this episode provides actionable insights for moving forward with confidence.
