Relationship Property

When a relationship ends, you still need a way forward.
Working through property and financial arrangements can feel complex — especially during an already difficult time.
We help people work through these decisions privately, with a clear and structured process designed to reach practical outcomes they can move forward with.

What we help with

Dividing shared assets

Homes, savings, investments, and other jointly held property.

Debt and financial responsibilities

Understanding what is owed and how financial responsibilities should be managed.

Business or complex asset structures

Including trusts, companies, or layered financial arrangements.

Pre- and post-relationship agreements

Reviewing, interpreting, or working through how these apply. 

Situations involving advisors

Working alongside lawyers, accountants, or financial professionals where needed. 

A practical way to work things out

Sorting out relationship property doesn't have to mean going to court.
  • Court processes can be slow, expensive, and heavily focused on legal positions rather than practical outcomes. Mediation provides a more private, structured, and constructive way to work through financial matters together.
  • At FDRC, we tailor the process to the complexity of your situation — ensuring the right level of preparation, support, and expertise is in place from the outset.
  • You'll have a dedicated case manager throughout the process, helping coordinate the practical steps and keep things moving forward.

The right level of support

Some matters are straightforward. Others involve multiple issues, documents, or people.

We structure our support to match the complexity of your situation — so the process remains practical, efficient, and appropriately supported.

This may include:

  • additional preparation or document review
  • involvement of legal or financial advisors
  • extended or multi-session mediation
  • coordination across multiple parties

We explain your options clearly before anything proceeds, so you understand what's involved and what it may cost.

Why people choose relationship property mediation

Stay in control

Decisions are reached by agreement, rather than imposed by a court.

Keep matters private

Financial and personal information remains confidential and outside the public court system.

Work through complexity constructively

Address practical, financial, and relationship issues in a structured environment.

Involve the right people

Lawyers, accountants, trustees, and other advisors can be included where appropriate.

Reach practical outcomes

Focus on solutions that work in real life, not just legal positions.

How much does this cost

Relationship property matters can vary significantly in complexity. Some involve straightforward financial arrangements, while others include trusts, businesses, multiple assets, or legal and financial advisors.
Our pricing is structured around the level of support your situation requires — so the process stays practical, focused, and appropriately supported.
Relationship property mediation packages typically start from $3,000 + GST.
We'll walk you through:
