Who this session is suited to
This session is suited to individuals seeking clarity before making decisions.
Clients who:
​
-
are at the early stages of separation and unsure where to begin
-
want to understand their position before responding or negotiating
-
are preparing for mediation or discussions with the other party
-
prefer a structured, strategic approach rather than escalating conflict
-
want clear, practical guidance tailored to their circumstances
If your matter is already in progress or involves court proceedings, a strategy session designed for in-progress matters may be more appropriate.
What we cover
Each session is tailored to your circumstances, however most clients come to us needing clarity across a combination of the following areas.
Understanding where you currently stand, both legally and practically, and how to position yourself moving forward. This includes identifying risks, pressure points, and opportunities before decisions are made.
STRATEGIC POSITIONING
Guidance on how to approach discussions with the other party, including what to prioritise, what to avoid, and how to structure proposals in a way that is both practical and legally sound.
PREPARING FOR MEDIATION OR NEGOTIATION
Clarity around parenting proposals, considerations the Court will prioritise, and how to approach arrangements in a way that supports both the children and your position.
PARENTING ARRANGEMENTS
A high-level review of the asset pool, contributions, and potential outcomes, including how different approaches may impact settlement.
PROPERTY AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
Guidance on how to communicate with the other party in a way that is measured, effective, and aligned with your position, including what to say, what to avoid, and how to navigate difficult or high-pressure interactions.
COMMUNICATION
A clear and structured plan for what happens after the session, including immediate actions, timing considerations, and how to move forward with confidence.
