Divorce Mediation & Financial Process Explained
Financial and legal decisions made during divorce or separation, such as dividing property, pensions, or savings, can be difficult to revisit later. Because of this, our guidance explains how the mediation process works and highlights where decisions are usually made. In doing so, we ensure key issues are understood before anything is agreed.
Naturally, people reading about divorce and mediation are often at different points, even if they are facing similar situations. For instance, some are trying to understand the risks involved, while others are comparing mediation with alternative routes. Furthermore, many are focused specifically on whether an agreement is legally final and what it actually closes.
To help you navigate these stages, we’ve grouped our guidance accordingly. This makes it easier to find relevant information without needing to read everything at once.
