Ann Davidson - Family Mediator

For many people going through a separation, the emotional side is difficult.

Then comes the financial pile.

Bank accounts. Credit cards. Mortgage statements. Pensions. Investments. Property. Debts. Support.

And suddenly you're being asked to make financial decisions that could affect the next 10 or 20 years of your life.

You're not expected to know how to do all of this.

At Fresh Start Mediation, we help you understand what information is needed, organize the financial picture, and work through the decisions one at a time.

Before deciding what happens to the house, you need to understand the numbers.

Before dividing assets and debts, you need to know what's actually there.

Before agreeing to something that could affect your future, you need to understand what you're agreeing to.

Clarity first. Decisions second.

No pressure. No obligation. Just a conversation.

Your Fresh Start can begin with one.

For most separating parents, there is one question that matters more than almost anything else:
What is this going to do to our kids?
A parenting plan isn't simply about deciding where the children sleep on Monday night or who gets which weekend.
It's about building a new framework for your family.
School. Holidays. Activities. Health decisions. Expenses. Communication. Values. And how you'll handle the decisions you haven't even thought of yet.
Because children grow. Circumstances change. And the agreement that works today needs to give you a way to navigate tomorrow.
Your relationship as spouses may be ending.
Your relationship as parents isn't.
At Fresh Start Mediation, we help separating parents have those conversations and build a parenting plan around the family they're becoming.
No pressure. No obligation. Just a conversation.

What actually happens in mediation?
For most people going through a separation, the answer is: *I have no idea.*
And why would you?
Most people have never been through a divorce before.
Suddenly, you're being asked to make decisions about your home, your finances, parenting, support and your future, often while dealing with all of the emotions that come with the end of a relationship.
That's where having a process helps.
At Fresh Start Mediation, we break a complicated situation into manageable conversations.
What needs attention right now?
What information do we need?
What do you already agree on?
Where do you disagree?
And what can wait until later?
You don't have to walk into mediation prepared to solve your entire divorce in one conversation.
You just need a process for getting from where you are now to where you need to be.
That's what we provide.
No pressure. No obligation. Just a conversation.
Your Fresh Start can begin with one.

MAYBE YOU'RE JUST NOT READY YET
One of the first things we sometimes tell people is:
Don't rush.
Two people can be in very different places when a relationship ends.
One may have been thinking about separation for months.
For the other, it may feel like it happened yesterday.
Before you start making permanent decisions, it helps to understand where each of you is emotionally.
Sometimes you're ready to move forward.
Sometimes you need a little more time.
And sometimes the first step is simply understanding your options.
That's okay too.

Separation is difficult enough.
It doesn't automatically have to become a battle.
You may disagree about the house.
You may disagree about money.
You may disagree about parenting.
You may even disagree about what “fair” looks like.
That's okay.
Mediation isn't about pretending those disagreements don't exist. It's about creating a place where you can have the difficult conversations, understand your options, and work toward solutions you can both live with.
At Fresh Start Mediation, we're not there to decide who wins.
We're there to help you find a way forward.
No pressure. No obligation. Just a conversation.

If you're thinking about separation or divorce, you probably have a hundred questions.

What happens to the house?
What will parenting look like?
How do we divide everything?
What will this cost?

And maybe the biggest question of all:

Where do we even start?

You don't need to have everything figured out before talking to us.

That's what the first conversation is for.

At Fresh Start Mediation, we'll learn a little about what's happening, explain how mediation works and help you understand what the road ahead could look like.

No pressure. No obligation. Just a conversation.
