The routes to separation – making divorce or separation as painless as possible
The decision to separate or divorce is rarely taken lightly and can be a hugely emotional, stressful and difficult time, particularly when there are children involved. The way forward can be daunting and confusing and the untangling of finances and assets a potentially frightening task. But there are different routes available that can keep the process as stress and conflict free as possible.
Victoria Strode, Associate in the Family team at Mogers Drewett explains: “When considering divorce or separation, it’s often assumed that court proceedings and expensive legal fees are the only way forward. But the route can be guided by the couple’s circumstances – for example, how much trust there is between the partners, and if there are children to consider.”
“Kitchen table discussions, mediation, solicitor negotiations, collaborative law and court proceedings all offer ways to move forward with varying levels of legal support and associated costs. For couples where there are complex assets such as businesses and pensions, it’s important to seek expert advice to help you make an informed decision for the best route forward for you and your family’s future.”
