Hi,
i have been invited to attend mediation,by my ex,regarding a financial settlement.
The main sticking point seems to be the size of the asset pool.
My ex is claiming 20 years of unpaid wages\superannuation.
A $150,000 contribution made during the relationship via a inheritance.
In all the claim of one million dollars against a property that i have a 1/3 share in with my parents, which i believe would be valued at less than one million dollars.
The cost of the mediation is on par with the cost of a sworn valuation,which along with a extensive inventory of both personal and business assets would give a indication of the size of the asset pool i would have thought.
Would it be in my best interest to agree to mediation?
Or should i make an offer as suggested by my ex?
Any opinions would be appreciated.
Many thanks
