Amicable Divorce and Separation Solutions

Hi, I’m Cathy O’Mahoney — although many people know me as “That Divorce Lady.”

For nearly 20 years, I’ve helped separating couples and parents navigate one of the most difficult and emotionally charged periods of their lives with clarity and practicality.

I’m an accredited family mediator, a non-practising solicitor, and the founder of Divorce Nicely, where I support families across East Kent and beyond with separation, divorce, children arrangements, financial matters and communication.

I’ve seen first-hand how overwhelming separation can feel: the worry about children; the fear about money; the uncertainty about what happens next; and the sheer exhaustion of trying to make big decisions when emotions are running high.

That’s why my approach has always been simple:

To help people slow things down, think things through, and find sensible, workable solutions without unnecessary conflict, cost, or court wherever possible.

Many of my clients going through separation and divorce come from East Kent and beyond, although many come from much further afield.  All of our services are available online making us a convenient and practical choice.

“That Divorce Lady” is the part of my work where I speak to people in plain English, without jargon or drama, about what really matters during separation and divorce. It’s where I share honest, practical guidance drawn from many years of experience, both legal and human.

I don’t believe most families need a fight. I do believe they need:

• Clear information

• Guidance

• A structured process

• And someone who understands both the emotional reality and the practical consequences of the decisions they’re facing.

Through Divorce Nicely, I offer structured mediation and divorce consultancy services designed to help people move forward with dignity, fairness, and as little stress as possible.

If you’re reading something written by “That Divorce Lady”, it’s because you’re probably facing some big decisions. My aim is to help you feel a little clearer, a little steadier, and a little more confident about what to do next.

There are much better ways of resolving issues arising out of separation and divorce, ways that can help reduce conflict and look at what is best for you and your children when moving on.

I can help you to look at all of your options if you have reached the unhappy decision that you can no longer remain with your partner or spouse. You may have already made the decision that you or your spouse or partner will move out, or you may be trying to work out the best way forward. You may be completely confused as to what to do. One thing is certain – if you do decide to separate, everything is going to be very different.

When relationships do break down, many couples find it very difficult to communicate with each other. It is important to keep talking or misunderstandings can easily happen.
