Before you contact the other parent, ask yourself: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is my message appropriate?

Communication between parents after separation can be difficult. Emotions are high during this time. It can be easy to forget what is appropriate when contacting the other parent.

Take some time before communicating, pause and reflect on what you are sending, and ask yourself those simple questions, before pressing send.

Clark & Associates provides tailored mediation services for parents experiencing conflict during separation in both parenting and property matters. We maintain our focus on the best interest of the children in all parenting matters, and this includes assisting parents to communicate effectively, even when emotions are high.

What factors are relevant in dividing up a property pool?
Direct and indirect financial contributions, non-financial contributions, and the future needs of each of the parties.

During your property mediation, our Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners will work with you using the Family Law legislation to consider factors which affect the property division and assist you to arrive at a just and equitable property pool split.

Our mediators do not give legal or financial advice, however they can assist you to negotiate a fair split which considers all of the factors relevant to your individual circumstances.

What is a property pool?

Assets, liabilities and superannuation held by both parties to the marriage as well as those held in either party's name.

Splitting your property pool can be complex, depending on the amount and type of assets that you and your ex-partner hold.

During the intake sessions, prior to mediation, we will explain the process of splitting a property pool and the various options available to you. You may be asked to value some assets, or to provide documents regarding some assets and their value.

We understand your perspective before mediation. Our service includes thorough intakes with each party.

An intake session is an important pre-mediation step, which is included in our fixed fee pricing structure.

The confidential one-on-one session is held with each party and can take up to 1.5 hours.

The purpose of the intake session is to:
• Screen the matter for suitability;
• Gather information about your circumstances;
• Explain the process of mediation;
• Assist you to prepare for mediation; and
• Tailor the provision of our service.

Mediation day can be emotionally and physically demanding for all parties. Having a thorough intake session prior to the day can allow your perspective to be heard in a calm environment and allow the mediator to request further information, if necessary, prior to the mediation day, and assist you to achieve positive outcomes.
