Splitting up? Don’t want to go to court? What are my options?

A divorce Court battle will create casualties and collateral damage

And for children, the damage might be irrevocable.

The Court process encourages couples to take positions rather than looking at what the family needs. Separating couples who go to Court can spend a significant proportion of family assets on costs, creating ever more resentment and stress for the entire extended family as they slug it out.

After the divorce

Many separated couples need to remain in touch with each other to parent their children effectively, and keep up relationships with family and friends. A high conflict divorce creates problems for people involved with the separating couple to say nothing of the ongoing damage which can be done to the children caught up in the aftermath.

Alternatively

What would it feel like to reach an agreement you could both live with, whilst laying the foundations for a more co-operative relationship in the future as parents or as members of an extended family or social group?

Collaborative Family Law and Family Mediation are two real options for resolving the problems of family breakdown without going to Court. You and your partner are in control of the outcome, and discuss issues around the table with support from lawyers and/or a neutral mediator. Both Collaborative Family Law and Family Mediation are specifically designed to reduce conflict and tension between you so that you can focus on finding a solution that will work in the long term for your family.
