How will we know whether it is a ‘fair’ outcome? My partner has always dealt with the finances so I will feel at a real disadvantage?
We will most definitely let you know if your financial proposals fall outside the parameters of what a Judge might decide if the matter went to court. Indeed, our mediation Code of Practice requires us to do so. Some of us are solicitors as well as family mediators so we are able to provide you with as much relevant information about the law as you need. We will also ensure that you both provide sufficient financial information and documentation to explore a whole range of financial options to suit you and the family. We of course recognise that there may also be times when you will benefit from individual legal advice from a family solicitor to support you in this process.
