Resolution is a community of 6,500 family justice professionals who believe that a non-confrontational approach to family law issues produces better outcomes for separating families and their children. All of the family lawyers in our team are members of Resolution.

What about me? Reframing Support for Families following Parental Separation – The Family Solutions Group (FSG) Report - One year on
This month marks the one year anniversary of the publication of the FSG’s report ‘What about Me’.

The report, supported by the President of the Family Division, was widely publicised and launched via a webinar attended by over 400 family professionals.

What does a 'good' divorce look like - When there are children involved?
The idea of a ‘good’ divorce might, for many people, look like the conscious uncoupling modelled by Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin. But the idea of a ‘good enough’ divorce seems more helpful for most separating couples and their children.
