Hi Nav Henry usually provides an alternative contact - are you not able to book on a time speak to him? What about the original link to his calendar? The financial information is based upon needs - what is fair and equitable. But if there are particular circumstances (inability to earn enough income due to childcare or illness etc) and concerns over having enough to retire on - Henry is the best person and most affordable to accurately work that out. If you have the financial info he needs and you book in a date to talk to him - then things should move swiftly.

Hi Suzy, I've tried to get in touch with Henry again. I'm hoping he'll reply after half term. I'd like to discuss with Henry which package will be best suited to my situation now. I'm feeling the pressure now to say, do and provide information to my advantage and need someone who will help me to get the best settlement and leave no stone unturned to achieve thos outcome What happens if he is unable to reply asap? Thanks Nav

Hi Navreen. The only pause is the time it takes you to come up with a couple of sensible ways to split the finances as discussed this evening. I hope you manage to reconnect with Henry and have a chat with Joanne if you're not happy with your current mediator. If you follow my suggestions you should be able to agree a settlement and get it turned into a Consent Order in time for submitting it at the conditional stage of the divorce process. It all depends how the mediation goes and whether you need arbitration etc.
