Description: With statistics of 1 in 3 marriages ending in divorce and many unmarried people living together, the end of a relationship now entails far more than a simple parting and a solicitor is often involved.

All Herrington & Carmichael matrimonial lawyers are highly experienced professionals, members of the Solicitors Family Law Association, and familiar with the emotions and conflict divorce can bring. They help our clients through the legal complexities involved in splitting assets, making provision for the children and finalising the divorce.

In appropriate cases, the use of mediation is recommended as a means of achieving an amicable settlement, and can also help speed up the process and cut costs.

Benefits can be
Better solutions reached by the parties themselves.
Powerful messages to the children of their parents working together on their behalf.
Total confidentiality and impartiality.
Quicker solutions at less personal and financial.
Protects legal rights but most mediations end in agreement.
Resolve any other financial issues.

These decisions can then be passed directly to the Court as part of the final divorce settlement. Resolution of differences made in these circumstances can not only speed up the process, but reduce costs. They are also very much tailored to individual needs, with each partner having an equal opportunity to voice their opinions and desires. The non-confrontational atmosphere reduces conflict and aids communication, thus making an amicable agreement far more likely.

One of the first solicitors to offer mediation in the UK. Herrington & Carmichael were one of the first solicitors in the UK to offer this unique scheme and now have many years of experience in resolving the conflicts of divorce and separation.

Highly experienced mediator Richard Whittington is a fully trained mediator who has been involved in family law since he qualified in 1978. He was Chairman of the Surrey Heath Domestic Violence Forum and a member of the Family Mediators Association and The U.K. College of Mediators. He is also a member of the Family Law Panel. His extensive experience of handling mediation puts him in an ideal position to remove conflict from the negotiations.

The speed with which the law changes today can be breathtaking. That's why it is so important to take good legal advice. Herrington & Carmichael has been offering high quality legal advice and representation to clients - in clear, jargon-free language - for well over a century. Although we strongly believe in the traditional values of excellent service and value for money, our clients appreciate our innovative, proactive and friendly approach to all their legal concerns.
