When couples separate, they may need to make decisions about how to distribute property, finances and debts. At Marindo Mediation we can assist to work out your property and financial settlement.

 

Property and assets may be divided between you and your partner by:

• Agreement

• Going to court, or

• Using a family dispute resolution service to help reach agreement.

 

Division of property and assets is not always straight forward. It is always recommended that you get legal advice to begin with so you understand your position fully, even if you can amicably reach an agreement. Mediation provides separating couples with a significantly lower cost option than being represented in family court by a lawyer. Court proceedings can be lengthy, stressful and could take up to a year to get the first (of what could be many) court appearances.

Our mediators provide a structured conversation that supports separating couples equally, to negotiate an agreement between themselves. Our skilled, neutral mediators will provide a confidential and voluntary process. This requires both parties to be willing to participate and to agree to provide full and frank financial disclosure to each other.
