Property & Finances Mediation
Sorting out finances after separation can feel overwhelming. Mediation offers a structured, impartial environment to discuss financial arrangements and explore options without the pressure, cost, or uncertainty of court proceedings.
What financial matters can be discussed?
Mediation can help you work through issues such as:
the family home and other property
savings and investments
debts and loans
pensions
child maintenance and ongoing financial arrangements
short-term and longer-term financial planning
How the financial mediation process works
Financial mediation usually involves:
sharing high-level financial information
identifying the key issues to resolve
exploring different settlement options
reality-testing proposals to see how they might work in practice
Mediators do not provide legal advice, but it does allow you to clear up the issues and reach proposals that you can then take to independent legal advice if needed.
A flexible, practical space to explore options
Every family’s financial situation is different. Mediation allows you to explore a range of possibilities at your own pace, rather than having a decision imposed by a court.
If mediation is not suitable - for example, where there is a lack of financial disclosure or unwillingness to engage - this will be discussed openly.
