Property & Finances Mediation

Sorting out finances after separation can feel overwhelming. Mediation offers a structured, neutral 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

The focus is on open discussion, clarity, and exploration of options that feel fair and workable for both parties.

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

Mediation does not provide legal advice, but it helps you understand the issues, organise discussions, 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.
