When flipping an object pivot remains in the same place. How can I ensure that the pivot is also flipped? I have all pivots placed on joints in my model so that I can pose it and I am now trying to create a separate symmetrical half of the body (eg. I want to move both sides separately).

Use mirror repeater, not flipping.  
Then validate the mirror node and keep instances.
