Resolution Together

We’ve gone our separate ways but want to work together to come to a resolution that is best for us both.

Traditionally, legal advice was provided with two separate lawyers and we would have been unable to help one couple alone. Awdry Law is now taking the lead and offering a new way of helping clients with the option of a one couple, one lawyer approach.

The key aim is to avoid unwanted conflict and allow the couple to focus on the best interests of their family, with the benefit of legal advice. This way of working is very personal and works around you both, rather than for the individual. By meeting with you both and advising you together, unwanted and drawn-out conflict can be avoided and legal costs can be shared between you both.

If this sounds like it could be the right approach for you, our team speak your language. Email: family@awdry.law , call us on 01380 722311 or make a quick enquiry for our family law team through the form below.

How does this new approach work?

Step 1 - Free initial joint meetings

The first step of a One Couple One Lawyer divorce is that one of our experts will arrange a free, initial meeting with you (and your partner if appropriate).

In this meeting, we seek to gain an understanding of you both, and your circumstances. We then can explain how this approach works, to allow you to make an informed decision about whether it is right for you.

If you feel it may not be appropriate for you to work together then that is completely ok; we can talk to you about other approaches that may work better for you and your circumstances. It is also worth noting that the information disclosed in this meeting is confidential.

Step 2 - Separate meetings

Our family law team have a duty of care for all of our clients. It is therefore necessary for us to meet with you separately so that we can gain an understanding of you both as individuals, and discuss what you are hoping to achieve and ensure that it is appropriate and safe for you to engage with the Resolution Together way of working. This is also confidential.

Step 3 - Subsequent joint discussions and couples negotiation

We will then work with you both to help you reach a workable solution, together.

The meetings will require transparency from both parties and information will be freely shared with your lawyer and your partner about matters relating to finances and children, as well as what the future looks like for you both.

At any point, you can obtain additional, individual legal support or advice that you may require, to then be discussed together at the meetings.

Step 4 - Reaching an outcome

Once you have reached a Resolution Together, your lawyer will draft a standard order which reflects your agreement. Any decisions and agreements will have been worked through and tested by you both and facilitated by your lawyer.

We will also point out to you, prior to any final agreement, any aspect that might differ from what the Court would order and will also advise you of how you can apply to the Court for the draft order to be approved.

We are interested in this approach, what do we do next?

The first step of the divorce process is often the most daunting and so we offer a free initial meeting where we can help you in person, at one of our five offices across Wiltshire: in Chippenham, Devizes, Marlborough, Royal Wootton Bassett and Swindon.

In this meeting, we seek to understand your position, advise you of your options and work with you to help you make informed decisions about your future.
