The most contentious of divorces generally finish in a court procedure in which each partner will be represented by a family solicitor. Harrogate courts sometimes refer the separating couple to mediation or suggest going through collaborative family law, however in some circumstances, the court route is the only possible solution. In these cases, your family solicitor will represent you in front of the court. This is generally a very dear process and can be emotionally harrowing and acrimonious.

The expense and negative feeling that going to court, to choose a divorce or separation agreement, can produce means it should not be a first option. As all of the family solicitors in Harrogate that are part of CFL North England are collaboratively experienced solicitors, they more often than not help their clients to search out a less antagonistic route. One of the options available to separating partners is collaborative family law. This involves each spouse taking on a family solicitor and having individual meetings with your family solicitor to let them know what your position is. Then you, your former partner and each of your solicitors talking face to face to deal with problems and produce a working understanding as to how to manage the split. This process can see resolution brought about swiftly, over the duration of a few discussions, and as you will have your family solicitor with you as the talks progress, you are able to count on legal advice being accessible as you go along.

Mediation is an additional alternative, which needs little contribution from family solicitors. In Harrogate, experienced mediators are amongst the qualified family solicitors in CFL North England. At mediation, you and your ex- partner will meet accompanied by a mediator. The mediator will act as a completely neutral part but can recommend you or your partner seeks legal advice if they feel it is the only option. Similarly, it can be well worth discussing your position with a family solicitor prior to mediation if you feel it is essential. Although mediation agreements are non-binding, family lawyers can be sought to help with the process of formalising the understanding.
