A lot of people assume that when a couple decides to separate, they are in for a messy, painful and anger-fuelled experience that leaves both parties bitter, poor and worse for wear. Although unfortunately, this is a reality for some and occasionally unavoidable, for many parting couples, the right approach can make a vast difference to the outcome, both financially and emotionally.
Family solicitors have significant training, experience and confidence to support their clients through some of the toughest of situations, knowing that the right approach is going to work in the best interests of everyone. First and foremost, should any children be within the immediate family unit, their welfare is considered and taken into account.
A professional, calm and balanced approach that aims at achieving an amicable separation that works in the best interests of everyone involved. The process will be shorter and therefore less costly, emotional wellbeing is fostered and there is even a possibility that separating couples can find solace and friendship once everything has been sorted and the dust has settled.
Removing the emotion from the situation during legal meetings can speed up the process, so if this feels to be an impossible venture, then perhaps having a legal professional speak on behalf of their client in roundhouse conversations, at least during the initial stages, can help to diffuse this potential dilemma.
Through advanced tactics aimed at achieving an amicable separation, professionals have been trained to diffuse situations, ask the right questions and keep their clients focused and on track to ensure the smoothest and best outcome for all involved.
By working through a divorce with a solicitor who has this kind of training and the patience, compassion and experience to work with clients dealing with varying stages of grief, frustration, confusion and trauma. Clients can be assured that they will receive the right kind of legal and emotional support during one of the most distressing times that they may experience in their lives.
Parental rights
It is important to make a note of this, because fathers, in particular, are not advised of their rights to their children during and after a separation. Should children be in no danger, emotionally or physically, by seeing their father or even their grandparents on a regular basis, then a legal team is able to ensure that this occurrence can take place, quickly and smoothly.
Every child deserves to have a strong and lasting relationship with their family and professional legal representatives ensure that the actions they undertake are in the very best interests of the child, first and foremost. They do this whilst weighing up other factors that have led to the breakdown of a relationship in a level headed and professional viewpoint.
Further support can be given with recommendations provided to certain individuals whom it is felt would benefit from understanding their feelings and emotions and receiving help to work through them. There is no shame or fear with feeling guilt, confusion or anxiety during and following a separation, but it is in everyone’s best interests to seek to move forward to a brighter future as quickly as possible.
