Support with separation
|
Separation or divorce can cause a whole range of emotions, often including pain and confusion. Working through this can be difficult enough, without the added burden of agreeing on post-separation arrangements.
Many questions may need answering, such as:
- How will time with our children be arranged?
- How will our property be sorted?
- What will happen to our finances?

 |
We can provide you with information and assist you to make your own decisions, without requiring court.
We do this in a safe, supportive and respectful way, and by working with parents to focus on their children’s needs when children are involved.
