Fletchers Solicitors: guiding you through the divorce process
19 March 2007
What if it goes to court?If a court case does prove necessary, which is rare, we guide you through the process and advise you on the implications of every decision you have to make. The outcome of your divorce or separation may have far reaching effects on your future financial security and your children's welfare.
Along with the emotional turmoil that accompanies the end of a relationship, there's a host of practical issues to address.
How will it affect the children?
At Matlegal we believe the wellbeing of any children is paramount and that their emotional and financial security is best achieved by a positive parenting relationship between all parties wherever possible and agreement on maintenance and contact.
On top of the emotional turmoil that accompanies the end of a relationship, there's a host of practical issues to address. These might include:
- The children – providing support and time, contact arrangements, childcare, telling the school, seeing in-laws, birthday and Christmas arrangements.
- Money and property – who lives where, surviving on less income, managing the finances, who gets what in the home, pets etc.
- Friends and family – telling parents/siblings/extended family members/friends, deciding how much to say and who should tell whom, maintaining friendships and relationships with in-laws.
- Personal survival – which friends can support you practically and/or emotionally, how you'll create space to grieve, whether you might benefit from counseling building relaxation into your schedule, treats can you reward yourself with when times are tough.
