Dad Keeps Family Home: A Mediation Success Story

At Conditsis Lawyers, we celebrate the impactful victories our team achieves for clients. Recently, Holly Pitt Senior Associate and Nationally Accredited Mediator played a pivotal role in resolving a challenging property dispute for our client, Tom Perce*.

Tom faced an ongoing conflict involving a substantial asset portfolio with his former partner. The stakes were high, particularly because Tom wanted to retain the family home, where he lives with his daughters. Understanding the emotional and financial significance of the situation, Holly approached the mediation with a clear strategy focused on finding a positive resolution.

Through skilled negotiation and effective communication, Holly facilitated a settlement that allowed Tom to keep the family home while paying out his former partner through a re-mortgage. This outcome not only provided Tom with the stability he sought for his daughters but also fostered a sense of closure for both parties involved.

The success of this mediation underscores the many advantages of avoiding court. By choosing mediation, Tom was able to:

  1. Save Time and Costs: Mediation typically resolves disputes more quickly and at a lower cost than lengthy court proceedings.
  2. Maintain Control: Tom had a say in the final outcome, allowing him to tailor the agreement to fit his family’s needs.
  3. Preserve Relationships: The collaborative nature of mediation helped maintain a more amicable relationship between Tom and his former partner, which is especially important for co-parenting.

Holly’s dedication and expertise ensured that Tom walked away with not just a settlement, but a renewed sense of hope for his family’s future. At Conditsis Lawyers we are proud to support clients like Tom in navigating complex disputes, achieving resolutions that truly matter.
