This is a practical guide developed by Women’s Legal Service WA to assist women with family law matters to prepare for mediation, understand their rights and answer commonly asked questions about the mediation process for family law matters.

This guide is intended to provide information only.

If you have any queries in relation to how the information relates to your situation, we strongly suggest you obtain independent legal advice (as early as possible).

WLSWA can provide women who are experiencing financial disadvantage with legal advice about mediation or family law property settlement entitlements through our Legal Clinic. Contact us to request an appointment.
