Resolution’s Good Divorce Week runs from the 29th November to 3rd December and this year is focused on children and parenting during/after separation. Our team of family law specialists have put together a series of resources for parents to help them minimise the impact of separation and divorce on their children.
The role of a family consultant may not be something that people are familiar with or have considered might be able to assist them to resolve family disputes. Our Director of Client Wellbeing, Kim Crewe, explains the advantages of using a Family Consultant within the mediation process.
Whether co-parenting relationships are planned as part of a modern family dynamic prior to the birth of a child, or whether they come about through separation, each situation is unique and presents its own set of (often unanticipated) complications. Here, Associate Solicitor Polly Dallyn shares a range of resources that are available to parents attempting to navigate their relationship and the needs of their children.
Parenting Coordination is a child-focused dispute resolution process for separated parents, designed to try and minimise conflict. In this piece, Lisa Burton-Durham explains how Parenting Coordinators support parents to develop skills and tools to assist in their communications and co-parenting. Sometimes Parenting Coordinators will also make decisions where the parents simply cannot resolve a dispute.
Child Inclusive Mediation is intended to give children a voice at a time when their parents are separating. Consultant family law solicitor and mediator Hazel Manktelow explains how Child Inclusive Mediation works and gives children that space to talk about how life is for them now their parents are separating.
Resolution’s vision is for a world where families facing difficult change are supported so they can achieve child-focused solutions and for conflict to be taken out of family law disputes. Their ‘Parenting After Parting Committee’ has produced this guide – as a resource for parents going through separation or divorce.
Arbitration, put simply, is a formal process for determining issues that takes place privately. Many separating or separated parents choose Arbitration due to the amount of control they have over certain aspects of the procedure. In this blog, Phoebe Roxbee explains more about the benefits of this approach.
