Separation Mediation

Our FDR Hub Practitioner can help guide your separation from your ex-partner in mediation, which can assist you to problem solve some of the more practical issues. Mediation may help you resolve disputes about:

1. Living arrangements/transitional living arrangements 
2. Living separated, but under the same roof
3. Deciding on how your property will be divided
4. Improve communication to make arrangements and decisions moving forward
5. Decisions relating to finances, expenses and joint accounts
6. Provide tools to ensure separation remains amicable
7. Provide you with necessary information and referrals to support you during your separation. 

Benefits of Separation Mediation:

The early stages of separation can be emotionally taxing and overwhelming. To reduce stress and prevent miscommunication and conflict it is highly beneficial to have an interim agreement with your ex-partner to allow you to quickly move to a resolution, avoiding unnecessary emotional and financial stress.

The Process

Our FDR Hub Practitioner will do an intake with each party to gather information and explain the process. You can also decide on how you would like the mediation to proceed with a choice of three options:

• Online joint mediation (where parties are together online)
• Online shuttle mediation (where the parties will be in separate virtual rooms and the FDR Hub Practitioner works with each party individually)
• Video or telephone mediation. 

Reaching an agreement

Assisting separating couples to reach an agreement is our goal at FDR Hub and all agreements will be drafted and provided to the parties. Each party can then take the agreement to their legal advisor and get it formalised within the Courts, should they desire to do so for any property or financial agreements.
