<p>It can be a difficult time when parents decide to separate but it is important
that they are supported to make child-focused decisions in a way that minimise conflict
and, importantly, are in the best interest of the child.</p><p> </p><p>The Government
believes that, in cases where is it safe and appropriate, there are a range of services,
such as mediation or other forms of non-court dispute resolution, that can provide
parents with a constructive and less adversarial alternative to court proceedings.</p><p>
</p><p>We will continue to consider options to enable parents to receive the services
that are right for them and raise awareness of alternatives to court.</p>
