Separation is an emotional and traumatic experience for both parties, both the party that elected to separate and the one who does not. In rare occasions, he decision to separate may be mutual, but this is unusual. Normally one party realises before the other that the relationship is unhappy.

It is very important to have an independant person to talk to at this time like a family law solicitor. Family and freinds often try to be supportive, but they are often too closely involved to give calm and clear advice. It helps to speak to someone specially trained in this field.

Most family lawyers are now trained to minimise the grief of separation by encouraging negotiations between both parties and their respective solicitors in a positive way to avoid further conflict.

Many practical problems have to be dealt with and it is far easier if each party has a family lawyer to advise and assist them in finding solutions for the future.
