Resolution is a group of family lawyers who aim to approach family law disputes in a conciliatory manner. They aim to resolve issues constructively and swiftly.
Good Divorce Week runs from November 29 to December 3.
A marriage breakdown impacts the two parties involved but it also has a huge impact upon the children of the marriage.
Child-focus
Resolution emphasises the importance of a ‘child-focused’ approach following a marriage breakdown. This is particularly relevant now, in light of the pressures faced by many families as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns.
‘Parenting Through Separation’ is a guide prepared by Resolution to assist parents during a separation. It can be found here: https://resolution.org.uk/publications-books/parenting-through-separation/
