Jennifer Hetherington Family Law Mediator and Parenting Coordinator
Going through separation and worried about conflict?
Concerned about the impact of divorce on your kids?
Worried how much divorce will cost?

I get you.
Going through divorce is really tough.
If you don’t get it right, it could cause years of damage that can impact your kids, your finances and your future.

 

I’m Jennifer Hetherington, founder of Untying the Knot, a Family Law Mediation and Parenting Coordination service.
   
I help couples separate in a way that minimises the emotional and financial fallout of divorce.
I help parents stuck in conflict create better co-parenting relationships.

As well as the expertise, education and experience you expect from a family law mediator, I also bring life experience.
I’ve been through my own divorce, and have co-parented for 14 years.  I know what divorce feels like. 
I will help you reach an agreement with empathy (and a side of pragmatism), so you can move forward with respect and dignity.
