Jacky, you were very clear in your advice; you were fair on what you felt I was entitled to and you helped to make the process less stressful than I thought it might be.
You were also very easy to get along with; I think a skill that is vitally important when dealing with human emotions and life changing situations.
Many thanks for all your help and kindness.

Mediation is a way of resolving issues between partners without the cost and stress of court proceedings.
Both partners meet with a mediator who helps them to resolve matters which need to be discussed between them by overseeing any relevant financial disclosure and helping the partners to focus on the options that are available until these are narrowed down to what is best for their circumstances.
It is a voluntary process which only works where both partners are willing to mediate.
The benefit of mediation is that it helps partners to find their own solutions, which work for them and it therefore helps both parents to maintain a good relationship with their children and mutual respect for each other for a working relationship in the future.

When people start to live together, they hope and believe that their relationship will last.
Sadly that is not always the case.
A cohabitation agreement is an agreement between cohabitants, usually entered before or soon after they start to live together, which sets out what they have agreed with each other about their finances or their children.
It can cover what financial or other contribution each of them will make.
It should cover in particular what their intentions are with regard to any property either or both of them own and what they agree should happen to it in the event that the relationship breaks down.

This is an agreement which partners can enter into before they are married to set out their agreement about what will happen with regard to finances and children in the event that the relationship breaks down.
The courts in this country have had a changing view of the value and enforceability of these agreements.
However where they are properly drafted and fair and both partners have received legal advice before signing them, prenuptial agreements will usually be held to be enforceable.
At the very least they are always treated as "a relevant circumstance" which should be taken into account.
