It is a sad reality that holidays put pressure on family life. This is especially true of the Christmas period. For couples who decide to separate, it is important to know that there are alternatives to court.
Collaborative law is a legal way of helping separating or divorcing couples find a settlement by working together with their lawyers and other family professionals without the time, expense and stress of a court case. You can use it to help you:
- find the best solution for your family in a cost-effective and amicable way – without confrontation
- work together to meet the needs of both parties – and the children
- resolve your disputes without going to court
Family mediation involves a neutral third person – a mediator – helping you and your partner discuss and agree an outcome to your dispute between yourselves. It’s more flexible and generally far less stressful than going to court. It gives you and your partner the chance to keep control of your own affairs and make decisions that suit your specific needs.
