SUMMARY
If you have watched all 15 videos and completed your Fin Disclosure Booklet, I congratulate you because you have done what it takes.
We can support you with our tools and support BUT unless you are willing and able to take responsibility for doing what we and the mediation process asks of you, mediation is not for you and you are unlikely to be successful.
In summary, IF you
- Carefully follow the 8 keys set out at the start of this Disclosure form
- If you, watch the videos for each paragraph of this form and
- use our Divorce Manual and resources and
- Use our recommended experts, if needed
You WILL be able to complete this financial disclosure form for yourselves, at minimum cost, fully ready and prepared for mediation.
Remember, it is very unusual indeed to have every bit of information and for this to be agreed, when you come to your first mediation session.
We simply ask you, at this stage, to do your best, with the time and support you have available, to complete this Disclosure Booklet and use the Document checklist to list the documents you gather, ready for a positive and constructive discussion in mediation.
When you believe that you have done your best and your Financial disclosure Booklet is complete, please sign in the space provided at the end of the form, date your signature and send your form to the Mediator
As I explained in the very first video, before your first mediation session, your Mediator will prepare a financial summary from the information provided, for discussion in mediation.
You will then have plenty of opportunity, during the first mediation session, to ask each other questions about this information and request further information and documentation, as you build a financial summary together with the Mediator, which you can all use to reach a fair financial outcome together, mediation.
Good luck.
