There are numerous issues that arise following the breakdown of a relationship or marriage, including but not limited to divorce proceedings, child arrangements and financial arrangements. There are various options available to help resolve the issues and there is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach.

You may be able to resolve your disputes by one of the following methods:

·       Privately between yourself and your ex-partner, with assistance from a solicitor to prepare the agreement you have reached into a court order (also known as a “consent order”).

·       By attempting mediation to discuss the issues with your ex-partner and try to reach solutions.

·       By negotiating via solicitor correspondence about the issues.

·       By having round table meetings with your ex-partner and solicitors present to discuss the issues on a without prejudice basis.

·       By seeking use of a private evaluation of your case by a judge at the outset for an early judicial opinion.

·       By issuing court proceeds for the assistance of the court to make an order on the issues in dispute.
