The Missing Piece in Divorce Mediation: A Financial Expert
WHAT IS EMPOWERED SEPARATION?
Guided by a Family Financial Settlement Mediator and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, you’ll work in a confidential, problem-solving environment designed to reduce conflict, protect your privacy, and reach agreements that make sense both emotionally and financially, before you engage the attorneys. Mediation through Empowered Separation offers couples a private, structured path to resolution rooted in financial clarity, neutrality, and respect.
Our role is not to give legal advice or represent either spouse - we re not attorneys.. Instead, we focus on helping both of you understand the financial realities of your choices, explore scenarios together, and build a foundation of informed decisions. You will leave with a clear written summary of your terms—an invaluable blueprint your attorney can formalize into a binding settlement.
Mediation is one of the most effective ways for couples to resolve their differences with dignity, privacy, and control. It’s equally important, however, to understand what mediation is—and what it is not. Mediation is not a “one-stop shop” where legal advice is given, binding documents are drafted, and a final settlement is signed on the spot.
In North Carolina, and under professional standards, mediators are strictly prohibited from:
- Providing legal advice
- Drafting legally binding settlement documents
What mediation can do is guide you to informed agreements. At Empowered Separation, couples leave with a detailed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)—a written record of the consensus reached in mediation. This document becomes the foundation your attorney can then formalize into a legally binding settlement.
For this reason, many clients choose to bring in their attorneys after mediation, using the written summary as a clear blueprint to draft and finalize the necessary legal documents while saving in legal fees.
