Relationships Australia cannot force anything upon anyone. They will simply facilitate mediation.
Secondly, considering that the child is 10 what she wants will strongly sway a court in any event. She will most likely live with you if the court is satisfied that it is what she wants.
Attend mediation, make it clear it is what she wants and go through the motions.
All the best.
Please accept.
