You don’t have to go to court for your separation or divorce. If you and your former partner want to resolve matters you have many options available to you, including mediation, collaborative practice and arbitration, together with solicitor negotiation. These processes support you and your former partner to work together to decide what happens to your children after your separation, and how money and assets such as the family home will be divided between you. This can be quick and cost effective, giving you more control and enabling you to resolve your dispute and move on with your life.
