Separation Mediation
The Smarter, Calmer Way to Move Forward
Separation is hard but resolving it doesn’t have to be. At Assent, we help separating couples make clear, confident decisions about property, finances, and parenting through a guided separation mediation process that’s faster, fairer, and far more cost-effective than the traditional lawyer-to-lawyer route.
No courtrooms. No endless letters. No “he said, she said.”
Just structured conversations that lead to real progress.

What Is Separation Mediation?
Separation mediation (also known as family separation mediation) is a structured process where an accredited Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner (FDRP) helps both parties discuss and agree on key issues following separation, such as:
Property & financial settlements
Parenting arrangements
Superannuation splits
Ongoing communication or decision-making
Our mediators remain neutral. We don’t take sides or represent either person. We guide both of you through open, practical discussions to help you reach mutual agreement in a safe, supported, and confidential environment.
Our separation mediation services are designed for families seeking a structured and understanding approach that prioritises cooperation. Whether you’re exploring mediation for separation, we tailor our sessions to fit your situation and help both parties move forward confidently.
