Mediation Support and Representation on the Mornington Peninsula
Resolve Family Disputes Peacefully with Expert Legal Support During Mediation
Mediation is a valuable tool for resolving family law disputes, but navigating the process can be complex without the right guidance. At Eliza Legal, we provide expert legal support and representation during mediation to ensure that your rights and interests are fully protected. Based in Mount Eliza, we serve clients across the Mornington Peninsula and beyond, helping you achieve the best possible outcome during mediation.
What is Mediation?
Mediation is a process where a neutral third party, the mediator, facilitates discussions between parties in conflict to help them reach an agreement. This approach is often used in family law matters, such as divorce, property settlements, and parenting arrangements. While the mediator remains impartial, having legal representation ensures that you understand your rights and obligations throughout the process.

- Legal Insight: Our lawyers provide valuable legal advice to help you make informed decisions during mediation.
