How I can make things easier

I will discuss with you whether reconciliation is a possibility.  If not and you have reached the unhappy decision that your marriage is over, I will then work with you both within your budget to reach an amicable solution without confusion.

Through Divorce Mediation

  • I can help you to look at what assistance is available to you, saving you time and money
  • I can assist you with finding affordable solutions to suit your budget
  • I can help both of you to consider how best to sort out all the practical issues so that you are both involved – this can include assisting you with your financial and property matters
  • I can help you both to work together to do what is best for your children
  • If appropriate, I can point you in the direction of appropriately qualified professionals depending upon your needs. All of those professionals I have met personally to satisfy myself that they will provide you with the best possible service in a professional and sympathetic way
  • I can meet with you after office hours and on Saturday mornings so that you don’t have to take time off work
