What is the Family Law Settlement Service (FLSS)?

The Family Law Settlement Service (FLSS) is a mediation program, administered by the NSW Law Society’s Alternative Dispute Resolution department, which is most suitable for financial or property disputes that are at the post-conciliation conference stage.

Parenting matters are suitable for referral at any time and will be allocated to Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners (FDRPs).

The program is designed to avoid the costs, uncertainty and delays of having a dispute determined at a final hearing.

Parties can use the FLSS service even if they don't have a matter before the Courts.

Amending the Pro-Forma Mediation Consent Orders

The Pro Forma Consent Orders can be varied or amended by the parties to be tailored to suit their individual circumstances.

For example:

If the parties agree to a certain geographical location for the mediation to take place, the Pro Forma Consent Orders may be amended to reflect this.

Another example might be that the matter be referred to an agreed upon mediator from the FLSS Panel.

In circumstances where this is specified, the FLSS ask that parties also provide an alternative mediator should the preferred mediator be unavailable.

It is also acceptable for parties to arrive at an agreed upon list of mediators.

Parties may include a list of three (3) to five (5) mediators from the FLSS Panel.

FLSS request that parties refrain from listing mediators they do not want.

FLSS also request that parties keep in mind when preparing their list of mediators that parenting matters must be referred to a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner (FDRP).

Please refer to the FLSS Panellists list here to ensure any nominated mediator is a FDRP (for parenting disputes).

★★★★★ Lifesaving Lawyers: Everything was on the line. My wealthy, scheming ex had tricked me into a position of weakness and had commenced the formal process to attempt to evict me from my own home, simultaneously pressuring me to accept his low-ball settlement offers. After I engaged James D. Ford, Esq. at Blue Ocean, everything slowly started turning around, starting with the looming threat of eviction in California being removed. Mr. Ford and the entire Blue Ocean team were absolutely professional at all times, listening and fully absorbing the details of my story, my drowning in a constant stream of litigation motions in California, combined with my uncertainty regarding my legal rights in Australia. After 2.5 years of litigation to date, our combined efforts have culminated in a major courtroom victory, which effectively means that I will now be paid my full & fair legal entitlement.

An illegal website is trying to use our name [a US-hosted duplicate of the entire business eCommerce Website] to gain advantages and scam customers. All the major search engines ignore it. James has initiated a DMCA takedown and will resolve the issue within one week. [Details Added for Clarity]. He understands how things work and knows the reason behind the issue.
