Preparing for your first financial mediation session- 1 or 2 weeks to go
There is now a week or so to go before your first financial mediation session.
You are hopefully making good progress with completing your Financial Booklet and Compass income and expenditure spreadsheets, using the Divorce Manual and video series to help you.
Please check with your Mediator when they would like these forms so that they can prepare an Open Financial Summary to go through with you and your former partner during the session.
Thinking now about your first session, and assuming that you want to make as much progress as possible during that session, the aim of this video is to give you a sense of what you can expect to cover and achieve, if you come well prepared and work well enough with the mediator and your former partner.

To help with this and to manage your expectations, here are 6 common and realistic outcomes for the first financial mediation session.
