Confiding in someone about it, even for the first time, is rarely as difficult as it seems beforehand.
Our divorce solicitors understand that these conversations are not easy to start, and we do not judge, whatever the circumstances. Clients often tell us it is a relief to speak to someone who has heard it all before. We take the time to understand your situation and give you sensible, straightforward advice, so you know where you stand and what your options are. Everything discussed in a meeting stays confidential, and nothing happens without your agreement, even if you have not yet spoken to your spouse about how you are feeling.
Your first meeting with our divorce law solicitors is about exploring your situation and understanding how the separation or divorce process works, as well as talking through the longer term options for you and your family. You will get advice on the issues that need addressing straight away, whatever those happen to be, and we will guide you through each stage of the process that follows, whether that ends up being a separation or a full divorce, so you always know what happens next.
Our family law team are members of Resolution, and we do what we can to resolve disagreements without unnecessary conflict. This matters most where children are involved, since an ongoing, amicable relationship between parents makes a real difference to their wellbeing, both during the process and afterwards. We look for the most constructive way through wherever that is realistic, negotiating on your behalf and keeping communication moving, while still making sure your position is properly protected along the way.
Often the hardest part is picking up the phone or filling in a form for the first time. With the right support, you should find your stress levels come down rather than up, get sensible advice and guidance you can rely on, and know your financial situation is being looked after. There is no obligation attached to that first conversation, and no decisions need to be made on the day. Whatever stage you are at, we can talk through what support looks like for you, in complete confidence.
If things are not working and you are unsure what to do next, we are here to help you think it through, as part of our wider family law team, so related matters like children’s arrangements or financial provision can be picked up without you having to repeat yourself. Call us on 01494 685588 or use our contact form to arrange an initial conversation.
