AN ALTOGETHER BETTER WAY TO DIVORCE
Separating couples in Greater Manchester have the opportunity to follow an innovative route if they choose to divorce. Local solicitors are pioneering a revolutionary approach which helps reduce the emotional cost on couples and their children when families split.
Instead of dealing through solicitors, the approach, called collaborative law, involves couples working with their solicitors, all together in the same room, to reach agreement without the need for costly and stressful court battles. Other professionals such as specialists in pensions and financial planning or people trained to assist children in understanding and coping with the changes that your divorce or separation will bring to their lives, may also be involved in the process.
If you are involved, or likely to be involved, in a family law case and are keen to look at alternatives to the court process, this site aims to give you some guidance and contacts of professionals with the experience and knowledge to help you.
Family law has moved on from the dark days of Bitter Court Battles and no other option to a dispute.
Now we have:-
- Collaborative law
- Mediation
- Arbitration
You will be able to find the best way to resolve your family issue.
“I now have a better relationship with my wife than I have had for a
considerable time. We have managed to keep mutual friends and maintain good family links on all sides. Mostly though, for the children, at such a critical time in their teenage lives, the harmony we have maintained has been enormously beneficial. And that is something which has mattered more than anything else – to both of us.”
