Divorce – the need for the human touch
At the heart of divorce and family law are people; often hurting, usually sad, sometimes angry and confused and in personal turmoil. Our team understand that and will work with you to achieve a solution or settlement that avoids, as far as possible, any further poisoning of the relationship between the two parties – and do so with the minimum of legal costs and delay.
Collaborative Law and Family Mediation – we are big fans
Often separating couples find it almost impossible to sit around the table and talk about things like dividing money and where the children are to live. The entire process can be upsetting and traumatic, and this is why family mediation can be particularly effective.
Whilst we always act firmly in your interests, all of our family law team believe passionately that keeping the divorce process as friendly and reasonable as possible is always a good thing – especially when children are involved.
That’s why our team includes a qualified collaborative lawyer – as a firm we are big fans of both family mediation and collaborative law as the right way to provide sensible and practical ways to sort out family law problems for many people.
Family mediation is an important step in the process towards settling your divorce and moving on after you and your partner have split up.
It is our experience that family mediation is almost always far cheaper than going to court. It is also far less stressful and time consuming and will allow everybody to move on far more quickly.
