A new approach to resolving your family problems
Family breakdown is a devastating event and the legal processes which every family has to go through can be extremely stressful. However, collaborative law has recently been developed as a new way to resolve the issues surrounding divorce and separation without the need for going to court.
Using a collaborative approach differs fundamentally from the more traditional format. Each person will appoint their own collaborative lawyer but instead of conducting negotiations between you and your partner by letter or phone, you meet together to work things out face to face with the benefit of both lawyers being present through the whole process.
Our skilled and specially trained solicitors will help you decide on the best solution to the situation, paying particular attention to the interest of any children involved.
It is successful as it allows you to benefit from your own legal advisor but also to be in control. You make the decisions about your future, not a stranger in the court room. You set the agenda and the pace so you can talk about the issues that matter most to you together.
To make it work, both people will have to have a genuine desire to make the process work and a willingness to disclose, fully and honestly, information about all assets to their solicitors.
