Facing divorce or separation can feel overwhelming. Emotions run high, and the legal process can seem daunting. But there is a better way – one that focuses on reducing conflict and protecting what matters most: your family.
As we come to the end of Good Divorce Week (10–14 November), we want to share why working with a Resolution member can make all the difference in having a “Good Divorce”.
What is Resolution?
Resolution is a national community of family law professionals who believe in a better way to resolve family disputes. Every member follows a Code of Practice designed to reduce conflict and put children first. That means when you choose a Resolution solicitor, you’re choosing someone committed to helping you move forward with dignity and respect.
At Winckworth Sherwood, we are proud to be a Resolution-registered organisation. Every member of our family team follows these principles, and you can find us on the official Resolution register by following this link.
What is Good Divorce Week?
Good Divorce Week is an annual campaign led by Resolution. Its purpose is simple: to show that while divorce is never easy, it doesn’t have to be destructive.
This year’s theme is “The Year of the Code”, highlighting Resolution’s Code of Practice – a set of principles that guide Resolution members to improve outcomes for their clients. With family courts facing significant delays, early advice and a Code of Practice based approach can save time, reduce stress, and protect children from unnecessary harm
How can Resolution professionals help improve the outcome of your divorce?
- Less Stress, Less Conflict
Divorce does not have to be a battle. Resolution-trained solicitors avoid aggressive tactics and inflammatory language that often make things worse. Instead, we focus on constructive communication and practical solutions. This means fewer arguments, less tension, and a smoother process for everyone involved.
- Your Children Come First
Children often feel the impact of separation most deeply. We make their wellbeing the priority in every conversation and decision. That means helping parents work together, reducing exposure to conflict, and ensuring arrangements are fair and supportive. Protecting children from unnecessary stress isn’t just good practice – it’s essential for their emotional health.
- Clear, Honest Advice
When you’re facing big decisions about your future, you need advice you can trust. We provide realistic guidance, explain your options in plain language, and help you understand the long-term implications. No jargon, no false promises – just clarity and confidence so you can make informed choices.
- Options Beyond Court
Court proceedings can be expensive, lengthy, and emotionally draining. We’ll explore alternatives like mediation, early neutral evaluations, or arbitration – approaches that encourage cooperation and keep you in control of the outcome. These options often save time, reduce costs, and help preserve relationships, which is especially important when children are involved.
In short: Choosing a Resolution member means choosing a professional who cares about your family’s wellbeing, not just the legal process. If you’re considering separation or divorce, you can contact one of the Resolution trained Family Team at Winckworth Sherwood by following the links on this page.
