Financial Dispute Resolution (FDR)

1 min read

A hearing in financial remedy proceedings where the judge helps both parties negotiate a settlement. It's 'without prejudice' — what's said there can't usually be used against you later if the case continues.

In Plain English

A court meeting where a judge helps you and your ex try to reach a money agreement without a full trial.
