Question

Who are financial mediators?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Financial planners, with the appropriate knowledge in divorce and financial remedy proceedings, can add a great deal to a mediation or round table meeting.  They could be invited to join the meeting either as a co-mediator (if qualified to do so) or as a single joint expert.  With the necessary experience in pensions they can often steer a pension-sharing negotiation to a pragmatic solution and/or they can offer advice on pension reports to demonstrate what it may mean in money terms.  If need be they can also assist with framing questions to an Actuary where a pension report is required, which can speed up the process.
