Approach

Background We are a Recognised Mediation Organisation (RMO) and a founding member of the ADRP SA (Association of Dispute Resolution Professionals of South Africa). Our mediators are accredited by the National Accreditation Board of Family Mediators (NABFAM) and adhere to international standards. Our panel comprises of highly qualified professionals, including advocates, attorneys, psychologists, and social workers, all governed by a strict Code of Conduct. We are committed to facilitating the early settlement of disputes, ensuring fair and timely agreements. Our goal is to provide an effective alternative for parties who choose not to engage lawyers, ensuring they are not disadvantaged in the process. Anneke Greyvenstein follows a structured, restorative, and accountability-driven mediation process designed specifically for family and maintenance matters. Her approach is child-focused, legally informed, and solution-oriented, ensuring that agreements are practical, enforceable, and sustainable. Each mediation follows a clear step-by-step framework: thorough intake and screening, structured issue identification, guided negotiation, reality testing, and formalised written agreements aligned with South African legal requirements. Particular attention is given to maintenance obligations, financial disclosure, and long-term co-parenting functionality. Step 1: Registration and Referral Submission The mediation process begins with the submission of the referral form and the registration process. Following this, we schedule a half-hour preparation meeting, during which we will explain the mediation process in detail and address any questions or concerns the parties may have.
