Resolution holds the key to amicable conclusion, says leading divorce solicitor

Aug. 1, 2012 - PRLog -- Resolution is an organisation committed to the constructive resolution of family disputes and has 6,500 members throughout England and Wales; each of whom follows a code of practice that promotes a non-confrontational approach to issues such as divorce and separation.

Weightmans says this approach can be extremely useful in reaching conclusions that are in the best interests of the whole family, especially where the couple have children together. The divorce solicitors say a civil on-going relationship ensures that the children's interests are put first when making important decisions around issues such as finances, property and child custody.

"Divorce and separation is a stressful time in people's lives," commented a spokesperson for Weightmans. "Where problems arise and need to be dealt with, a constructive discussion can ensure that a resolution is reached quickly, thus providing more time for people to come to terms with the change in their lives. More importantly, this resolution is more likely to be one that benefits everyone in the family, including children."

Weightmans also says this approach helps to avoid litigation, which can ramp up the cost of divorce proceedings. Thankfully, a free 30 minute consultation the firm provides on divorce and separation can help identify whether litigation is necessary or whether it can be avoided.

In addition to its code of practice, Resolution (previously known as the Solicitors Family Law Association (SFLA)) offers advice to people facing divorce, separation, domestic abuse and other family difficulties.

Weightmans' spokesperson said: "Resolution is an important organisation for our industry. The code of practice ensures matters are conducted in a constructive and non-confrontational way; something all of our divorce solicitors believe in very strongly."

Weightmans was ranked in the first tier for family law in the 2011 edition of the Legal 500 and in the 2012 edition of Chambers & Partners.
