Nationally Accredited Mediator | Family Law Accredited Specialist (QLS)
Rebecca has been practicing in the area of family law for over 15 years.

Rebecca’s hope is that families are able to access the affordable and flexible mediation process through Divorce Without War and, if possible, avoid the Court system.
Rebecca has 2 small children at home and runs a busy household, so she understands the need for flexibility around timing of mediations – wherever possible we try to work around your work and child care commitments (because we understand that life still has to go on even though you’ve separated).
