We’ve decided to separate – what next?

Once you’ve made the decision to separate, it can be confusing and overwhelming to know what to do next. We welcome you to contact Relationships Australia NSW to help guide you through this process, and put you in contact with the services that you may need. We can help you determine the approach that’s most suitable for your unique situation. We also encourage all clients to seek their own legal advice.

What if the other party does not respond or refuses to participate?

If you are separating and have children, and your former partner refuses or fails to participate in the FDR process, our FDR Practitioner may issue you with a 60I Certificate. This enables you to apply to the Court for parenting orders. If you are separating and do not have children, and your case involves only property or financial matters, we recommend that you seek legal advice if the other party does not wish to participate in FDR. There are other reasons why an FDR Practitioner might issue a 60I Certificate. This includes if the Practitioner determines FDR is not appropriate for everyone involved at this point in time, or to confirm that everyone attended FDR and made a genuine effort but were unable to reach a full agreement on all parenting issues.

What happens in the first Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) session?

The first session with your FDR Practitioner is called a Pre-mediation assessment. This is an individual session between yourself and your assigned practitioner for 1.5 hours. The purpose of this session is to determine whether Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) is appropriate for your situation, and whether it is likely to achieve the outcomes each party want. We’ll consider the parties involved, the issues you present, and the proposed timing of FDR.

Can I bring a support person (such as a lawyer, relative, or new partner) with me to mediation sessions?

In some cases it can be agreed by both the FDR Practitioner (mediator) and the other party for other people to be present during mediation sessions including lawyers or support persons, however, this needs to be discussed and negotiated ahead of time. Please talk to your Family Advisor or FDR Practitioner if you would like to consider these options.

My ex-partner was abusive – how can you help in this situation?

After you make an enquiry about mediation, our staff will conduct a screening process. This is to find out more about you, your ex-partner, and how safe your situation is. If mediation isn’t suitable or safe for you, we can provide you with a Section 60I certificate. We can also refer you to other services that can provide you with support, such as counselling, behaviour change programs, and domestic violence support groups.

How can I make a complaint about Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) or my practitioner?

If you have any feedback or would like to make a complaint about our FDR service, we encourage you to speak directly with your Practitioner in the first instance. If they’re unable to resolve your concerns or you don’t feel comfortable raising the issue with them, they can refer you to a Team Leader. The Team Leader will manage your complaint internally via the process outlined in the information pack you received from your FDR Practitioner when you first engaged with the service. If we’re unable to resolve your complaint internally or, if you prefer, you can use the Australian Attorney-General’s Department complaints process. To make a complaint with the Attorney-General’s Department, you can lodge your complaint online or use the channels below: Email: flscomplaints@ag.gov.au Phone: 02 6141 6666 Post: Family Law Services Section Attorney-General’s Department Robert Garran Offices 3–5 National Circuit Barton ACT 2600

我们决定分开——下一步怎么办？

一旦您决定分居，接下来该做什么可能会让人感到困惑和不知所措。我们欢迎您联系关系澳大利亚新南威尔士州帮助指导您完成此过程，并让您联系到您可能需要的服务。我们可以帮助您确定最适合您独特情况的方法。我们还鼓励所有客户自行寻求法律建议。

如果对方不回应或拒绝参加怎么办？

如果您正在分居且有子女，而您的前伴侣拒绝或未能参与 FDR 流程，我们的 FDR 执业律师可能会向您签发 60I 证书。凭借此证书，您可以向法院申请育儿令。如果您正在分居且没有子女，并且您的案件仅涉及财产或财务问题，如果另一方不愿参与 FDR，我们建议您寻求法律建议。FDR 执业律师签发 60I 证书还有其他原因。这包括执业律师认为 FDR 目前并不适合所有相关人员，或者需要确认每个人都参加了 FDR 并做出了真正的努力，但未能就所有育儿问题达成完全一致。

第一次家庭纠纷解决 (FDR) 会议会发生什么？

与您的 FDR 执业者的第一次会谈称为调解前评估。这是您和您指定的从业者之间的个人会议，时长 1.5 小时。本次会议的目的是确定家庭纠纷解决 (FDR) 是否适合您的情况，以及它是否有可能实现各方想要的结果。我们将考虑相关各方、您提出的问题以及 FDR 的建议时间。

我可以带一名支持者（例如律师、亲属或新伴侣）参加调解会议吗？

在某些情况下，FDR 从业者（调解员）和另一方都可以同意让其他人在调解会议期间在场，包括律师或支持人员，但是，这需要提前讨论和协商。如果您想考虑这些选项，请与您的家庭顾问或 FDR 执业医师联系。

我的前伴侣虐待我——在这种情况下你能提供什么帮助？

在您询问调解后，我们的工作人员将进行筛选。这是为了更多地了解您，您的前伴侣，以及您的处境是否安全。如果调解对您不合适或不安全，我们可以为您提供第 60I 条证书。我们还可以将您转介给可以为您提供支持的其他服务，例如咨询、行为改变计划和家庭暴力支持小组。

我如何投诉家庭纠纷解决 (FDR) 或我的执业医师？

如果您有任何反馈意见或想投诉我们的 FDR 服务，我们建议您首先直接与您的执业律师沟通。如果他们无法解决您的问题，或者您不方便向他们提出问题，他们可以将您转介给团队负责人。团队负责人将按照您首次使用该服务时 FDR 执业律师提供的信息包中概述的流程，在内部处理您的投诉。如果我们无法内部解决您的投诉，或者如果您愿意，您可以使用澳大利亚总检察长办公室的投诉流程。要向总检察长办公室投诉，您可以在线提交投诉或使用以下渠道：电子邮件：flscomplaints@ag.gov.au 电话：02 6141 6666 邮寄地址：家庭法律服务科总检察长办公室 Robert Garran 办公室，3-5 National Circuit Barton ACT 2600
