When a relationship ends, dividing property involves more than deciding who keeps the house

Making financial decisions that support the whole family

Understanding your financial position

You may need to work through savings, superannuation, business interests and debts, alongside practical questions about housing and financial security.

Property and financial mediation provides a structured process for discussing these issues.

An impartial practitioner helps you organise the conversation, explore proposals and work towards an agreement. 

You retain control over the decisions.

How it works

A supportive space for difficult conversations

The process begins with a separate intake for each participant to understand their circumstances

Property & Financial Mediation

Financial Disclosure

 Before negotiating, both participants need to exchange relevant financial information. 


This may include property valuations, mortgage balances, bank statements, superannuation statements, details of investments, business records and outstanding debts.

 

We help identify what information is needed and where further clarification or professional valuations may assist. Having a clear picture of your finances allows you to consider proposals more meaningfully.

During mediation, we work through the issues that need to be resolved and explore how different arrangements could operate in practice.  


Where suitable, mediation can help you narrow disputed issues and work towards resolution, potentially reducing the costs, delays and stress associated with prolonged litigation. 


You do not have to resolve every issue in one session; further sessions can be arranged where useful.


Exploring how property could be divided

These may include:


Selling the family home and dividing the proceeds. 

One person retaining a property, subject to refinancing and agreed arrangements.
Dividing savings, investments and personal assets.
Addressing mortgages, loans and other liabilities.
Discussing superannuation arrangements.
Considering business interests.
Agreeing on timeframes and steps to implement a proposed settlement.



You can explain your priorities, consider the other participant’s proposals and explore alternatives with the practitioner’s assistance. Further information or advice may be needed before decisions can be made.

Recording and formalising an agreement

If you reach agreement, we can record the agreed proposals in a written summary. 


You can then take that summary to your lawyers to obtain advice about the appropriate way to formalise the settlement and complete the necessary transfers, refinancing or other steps.

The role of independent advice

Our practitioner facilitates negotiations and does not determine your legal entitlements or provide legal advice to either participant.

  

Independent legal advice can help you understand your position and assess a proposed settlement. Advice from an accountant, financial adviser or valuer may also assist where business interests, taxation or complex assets are involved

How to begin property mediation

 

Book an individual intake to assess suitability of FDR in your circumstances to begin preparing for property and financial mediation. 

Book an Intake Appointment

We aim to provide a safe, respectful and structured space where each participant can explain their concerns, ask questions and consider proposals without pressure to agree.
