If there are proceedings on foot and the Court has directed a party to provide the Mediator with documents for the Mediation, these should be provided in accordance with the orders, or at least one week before the Mediation.  Otherwise, it would be helpful if each party provided the following for the Mediation:
A balance sheet listing all assets, liabilities, superannuation and financial resources of each party (if it is a financial matter)
A Minute of Proposed Orders (which is the document setting out the arrangements/agreement or orders a party wishes to put in place); and
A Mediation/Case Outline document.  Such document should focus on the issues for discussion and the parameters of the dispute including the proposed percentage split and/or parenting orders/arrangement being sought and the basis for the proposed split and/or parenting arrangements.  A brief chronology of important dates/facts can also be of assistance.
If there are other documents that you think the Mediator would benefit from receiving, feel free to provide those as well, for example, Court documents, disclosure documents, orders, searches, expert reports, Child Impact Reports or valuations.  All communication to our office should be to admin@separationsolutions.com.au and must include the other party on any such communications.
