How we do it

Any relationship breakdown is personal and sensitive. No single approach is right for everyone. We take time to listen carefully to your concerns and we will provide you with a first-class personal service suited to your needs.

We will discuss which of these options are best suited to you.

Collaborative Law
Collaborative Law is a welcome alternative to the destructive and uncomfortable aspects of a conventional divorce or separation. Your case remains private and is resolved without going to court.

You and your partner each appoint your own lawyer but instead of conducting negotiations by letter or telephone, you meet together to work things out face to face. Your lawyer will be by your side throughout the entire process and legal advice will be given on the spot.

Voluntary negotiation
Where possible we negotiate with your partner to reach an agreement, again without the need to attend court. At Inspire we will handle your case sensitively, efficiently and with focus to achieve the best outcome for you.

We know this can be a very difficult and emotional time. We take great care to communicate constructively with your partner and avoid unnecessary antagonism.

Mediation
You and your partner may choose to meet with a mediator to reach agreement. Mediators are neutral and cannot give advice to either of you. A mediator should always recommend that you each obtain legal advice alongside the mediation.

We can assist you with the mediation process, advise you on any proposed agreement and explain the legal implications. We can also ensure that any financial agreement is incorporated into a binding court order.

Court
You or your partner may take your case to court.

We understand that attending court can be very daunting for our clients. We will support and guide you throughout this process and we will do everything possible to achieve the right result for you.
