Here to support you through separation or divorce with compassion and empathy.

From experience we understand that you’ll be currently experiencing a roller coaster of emotions, that’s why we have put together some useful guidance to help you through this difficult time.

Take some time for yourself.

As hard as this might be, you can’t make sensible decisions when you are stressed. Take some time out for yourself because over the coming months, you will have some big decisions to make.

Don’t cut all contact.

There will be decisions that require you and your partner to agree on together. It doesn’t matter what form of communication you use but it is vital that you stay in contact with each other. It is also important to keep in touch with family members and friends who can offer you support and reassurance.

Keep a record.

Finances can be a source of contention therefore we recommend noting down as much about you and your partners finances as possible. You may not remember every detail but having some information is a start.

Maintain your normal routines where possible.

Are there any children involved? If so, their needs must be a priority. Try to keep to your normal routines as much as possible and give your children the reassurance they need.

Seek legal advice.

There is help available, so make the most of it. A way of ensuring that everything is divided equally and ‘by the book’ is to instruct a Solicitor.

Thank you so much for all your advice and support these past few years. Thanks to you – and specifically your assistance in doing the right thing – I have a well-functioning co-parenting relationship with my ex-wife. Thanks to you, I get to see my kids every day; more importantly, my kids get to see both parents everyday.
