As a family law mediator in Brisbane, François is an impartial third party who facilitates the discussion of issues in dispute between parents, by assisting them in understanding each other’s underlying concerns and values.
He assists with the generation of options to each of the issues, guiding parents towards settlement in a positive and constructive environment.
However, it is important to note that François cannot, as an unbiased mediator, offer individual legal advice to parents, nor provide representation to either parent, during or after the mediation. It is essential, before any mediation session begins, that parents seek independent legal advice from a family law solicitor with a current practising certificate.
François is authorised by the Department of the Federal Attorney-General to issue section 60I cerfiticates, which are required before an application for parenting orders can be heard by the Family Court of Australia.
He is a nationally accredited mediator under the Bar Association of Queensland, the Queensland Law Society, the Australian Mediation Association, and The University of Queensland, as well as a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner registered with the Department of the Federal Attorney-General, pursuant to the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth). He has a Master of Laws (Litigation & Dispute Resolution), specialising in mediation, from The University of Queensland.
