Separation & Divorce
Information and support if your relationship is breaking down or you are considering separation or divorce.
Relationship breakdown can be extremely difficult for everyone involved. If you are considering separation or divorce, there are different kinds of support available — including legal advice, mediation, practical support and help with parenting arrangements.
Legal advice
Marriage Foundation is unable to provide, legal advice in individual cases.
If you are confronted by family breakdown you will probably require legal advice. In this regard it is essential that you only obtain advice from an experienced, specialist family law practitioner.
It is also wise to check that your solicitor is a member of Resolution, the organisation formerly known as the Solicitors Family Law Association (SFLA).
