Financial Separation Mediation
In mediation, couples have control over their decision making when it comes to financial matters and that’s why mediation is the first choice when couples divorce or separate.
When you and your partner are going through a divorce, there is a need for both of you to go to mediation.
Financial Mediation is different from marriage counselling in that when you and your partner go to the marriage counsellor you going to get advice on how to save your marriage.
While in mediation couples who are getting divorced meet up and make arrangements regarding their children and financial status.

Then hiring a mediator is a good option, you get to talk about your feelings, and you end up having a mature relationship with your ex-partner even after divorce.
Financial mediation is a smooth way to have an easy separation without involving the court.
When couples have reached an agreement, and they want to divorce they result in seeing a mediator.
A mediator helps in settling disputes over money, child maintenance, and property and living arrangements.
This allows a smooth separation without involving the court and without imposing trauma to the children. Additionally, hiring a mediator allows you to have a clear idea of how you will separate all the assets you acquired together.
Mediation provides the couple with a safe space to talk about all their problems without anybody judging.
The couples are given a chance to come to terms with the practicalities of separation and what it entails to get a divorce.
Unlike marriage counselling where one spouse can attend the meeting in mediation, both parties are supposed to be there to make everything run smoothly.
After each session, the mediator hands you a summary document if you are part way through the process or an agreement document that you can turn into a legal consent order.
Additionally, hiring a mediator will save you money since a mediator costs less as compared to going to the court.
