Family Dispute Resolution is a free mediation service to help parents and whānau sort out care arrangements for their tamariki after separation.

It’s about creating space for calm respectful kōrero—so everyone gets a chance to be heard, and you can work out a plan that feels fair and workable.

I support you both to have the conversations that matter—without taking sides. The focus is on the wellbeing of your tamariki, and finding a way forward that holds mana on all sides.

It’s not about digging up the past—it’s about building understanding and finding solutions together.

Keeps things out of court (less stress, more say).

Helps you create a parenting plan that works for your whānau.

Respects your culture, your voice, and your role as parents.

It’s free and easy to access.
