Finances Mediation is a nonbinding, voluntary process using a mediator to guide separated parents toward a mutually beneficial solution for their disputes.
Unlike a court judge who can decide for you, a mediator can help both parties to decide whether to settle on agreeable terms.
A finances mediator is considered as a catalyst to help you identify issues and explore individual needs and to clarify issues.
Mediation process may take time or can be done in shorter period depending on the cooperation of both parties.
Before the start of mediation, each party must complete an intake form. An intake form sets for the debts and assets of the parties.
This also determines what each party prefer as part of the process. Each party must fill out their own intake form.
The length of the mediation process is misunderstood by many. This case consists of two things-the marital status and the substantive issues including debt, property, child support, and custody, spousal support and valuation of assets.
The length of the mediation process in terms of substantive issues can be resolved in weeks or days depending on both parties.

One of the custody of children has been established; child support matters can be addressed.
This may seem straightforward on the surface, but there are so many nuances that may be born on the cost of support that you were ordered or seeking.
Child support after divorce can be determined using a statutory formula among many things based on the number of children to be supported, the income of both parents, and the length of time spent by parents with their children.
Rule of a thumb, the longer the parent spends time with his/her children, the less he/she will need to pay for child support.
Always look at the bigger picture and keep in mind that child support after divorce involves complex issues such as determining of the true income of the parent to the other parent.
A mediator can help you to ascertain the correct amount of child support you will have to give to your child.
