Who do I need to speak to?

Divorce can be overwhelming. Here’s a quick guide on who you can talk to.

Family mediation in the UK is a voluntary, confidential process where an independent, trained professional helps separating couples resolve disputes over children, finances, or property without going to court. It focuses on finding practical, mutually agreed solutions rather than blaming, saving time and money while reducing stress.

Collaborative family law in the UK is a voluntary, non-court process where separating couples and their specifically trained lawyers meet face-to-face to negotiate settlements, avoiding court hearings. It uses a "participation agreement" that commits everyone to resolving issues like finance and child arrangements collaboratively, preventing the same lawyers from representing them if the process breaks down.

An emotional neutral (or family consultant) in UK collaborative law is a neutral, third-party professional, often a coach or therapist, who helps separating couples manage the emotional, non-legal aspects of divorce. They facilitate productive communication, reduce conflict, and assist with co-parenting plans, ensuring the process remains child-focused.
