preparing for mediation 2 Weeks, 4 Days ago
what do I to do to prepare for mediation? Is it based on trust that both parties will disclose truthfully? what about debts accrued during separation? Is it worthwhile?

Re:preparing for mediation 2 Weeks, 4 Days ago

If you are both prepared to attend then it is worthwhile as the alternative is to try to sort things out between yourselves or go to court.

The process is based upon being truthful so if it is apparent that one or both parties is not being so, the process will most likely fail.

Debts accrued during separation can be relevant but if one party incurred debts of rental when the other remained in the former matrimonial home that could be a reason to include the debt as joint.
