Divorce has become more common in the UK

So what is divorce?

The judicial declaration dissolving a marriage in whole or in part, especially one that releases the husband and the wife from all matrimonial obligations. Otherwise known as the formal separation of husband and wife according to established custom.

Historically it was just husband and wife, now with civil partnerships the same situation is increasing with same sex couples.

If you find yourself in this situation you need advice. You need to understand the implications of the situation, financial, legal and emotional. For all these issues you will need good advice.

A divorce coach can also be part of the solution, guiding you through the emotional aspects of a separation, which is normally not the expertise of the solicitors and financial experts. It can be an important help in helping you move forward.

The coach can allow you to discuss the issues confidentially and non judgmentally. They will listen to and help you explore with you - the underlying issues behind your relationship or family breakdown to enable you to see more clearly and decide what to do next.
