Family Dispute Support Services Charitable Organisation

FDSS – Family Dispute Support Services is a not-for-profit community organisation based in New Zealand. FDSS is committed to providing support and coaching services and training to parents who are dealing with parental disputes after their family separation in or out of the Family Court. FDSS is a registered charitable trust powered and funded entirely by donations from many generous parents and community grants which provide some funding to subsidise parents to use our services. We are just a group of ordinary community members with very extensive knowledge and lived experience in helping families resolve their disputes in or out of the Family Court system. We have been helping and supporting hundreds of parents over a decade. We act as a fence on the top of the cliff , not only an ambulance at the bottom of the cliff ! FDSS – Family Dispute Support Services provides separated whānau with tailored support services using a community-centred holistic approach. FDSS work is focused on empowering whānau to resolve their parental disputes amicably on their own out of the court, if possible. Our support services are not only tended to offer the whānau a cure after/during the crisis, but mainly our focus is on early prevention and intervention initiatives that would prevent, reduce or eliminate the harm on our whānau and tamariki at the early stages of separation. All our services are delivered remotely to separated whānau from all over New Zealand such as; in-person or remotely over the telephone and other Audio-Visual platforms.
