A privately arranged version of the court's Financial Dispute Resolution (FDR) appointment. The parties jointly pay an experienced financial remedies lawyer or retired judge (the 'evaluator') to give an indication and help them negotiate, outside court. If it does not settle, the case returns to the court. The in-court FDR process is disapplied while a pFDR takes place.
In Plain English
A private meeting where a couple pays an expert, like a retired judge, to help them reach a financial settlement outside of court. It works like a normal court meeting but is often quicker and more flexible.
