Common questions

Common questions

Is Alex my lawyer during mediation?

No. When acting as mediator, Alex remains impartial and does not represent either participant or provide either with individual legal advice. Each participant should obtain independent legal advice before signing an agreement.

Is mediation suitable for every family?

No. Safety concerns, family violence, power imbalances and the ability to participate must be considered. Raise concerns before the process begins or at any point; mediation may need to be paused or ended.

What happens if we do not reach agreement?

An agreement is not guaranteed. You may resolve some issues and leave others open. Each participant can seek independent advice about unresolved matters and other options.

How are fees and confidentiality handled?

Fees, scope and arrangements for handling information are discussed before mediation. Confidentiality has limits; ask about the applicable terms before sharing sensitive information.
