Gay relationships can be wonderful when all goes well or can be a nightmare if everything goes wrong. Starting a relationship with a clear shared understanding about money issues can make your shared life easier for both of you. Ending a relationship can often be hardest, most stressful, most draining and most confrontational when it comes to money issues.

Whether it’s making a financial agreement as you both embark on a relationship or reaching agreement on money issues as your relationship ends, involving an experienced professional mediator can benefit both of you. Dr David Parker is an accredited, trained and experienced professional mediator with a career in finance and investment who specialises in helping same sex couples reach agreement on money issues when their relationship is starting or ending.

Often individually successful people, gay couples may bring a wide range of assets into a relationship, make substantial financial contributions during the relationship and hold a significant pool of assets and liabilities when a relationship ends. The house or apartment, the investment properties, the beach property, the superannuation, the shares, the cars, the paintings, the furniture and so forth may each need to be included in your financial agreement.

Dr David Parker has a detailed professional knowledge of property markets, share markets, art markets, superannuation, asset valuation, investment and finance, bringing a knowledgeable, detached and rational perspective to often emotionally charged negotiations about money issues. Operating within an environment of strict confidentiality, Dr David Parker helps each of you to distinguish between the value and worth of your assets and liabilities to help both of you achieve an informed agreement.
