Prepare for the Future of Family Law in SA
Recent developments, including the Directive on Mandatory Mediation, Rule 41A and the Alternative Dispute Resolution in Family Matters Bill are working to replace litigation with mediation as the default mechanism for settling divorces, parenting plans, maintenance disputes and other family law matters out of court.
​
Of the 33,000 practicing attorneys in SA, fewer than 5% have trained as mediators and fewer still comply with national standards. This represents a clear opportunity for legal professionals, social workers, psychologists and other professionals to establish their private mediation practices.
