The Bath office of law firm Stone King is offering free information sessions to people considering divorce.
The half-hour appointments for couples and individuals will be staged as part of Good Divorce Week, which runs from November 26 to 30, and will involve members of the firm’s family law and mediation team.
Good Divorce Week is organised by Resolution, the organisation of 6,500 family lawyers who believe in a constructive and non-confrontational approach to family law matters.
Its aim for the week is to help separating or divorcing parents limit the impact of conflict on their children.
Stone King family and mediation team head Caroline Fell, pictured, said: “We know that divorce or separation is a life-changing time, so wherever possible, we aim to resolve things constructively to avoid conflict and find the best way forward for the individuals and the family as a whole.
“Our specialist team of divorce solicitors can help deal with the process, prioritising the welfare of the children, if applicable, and advising on financial matters.
“We hope these free information sessions will provide some clarity to aid people’s decision making at what can be a very stressful time.”
Caroline, a former chair of the Bath Resolution group, is an accredited mediator and collaborative lawyer.
Stone King’s family & mediation team has again been recognised by the latest edition of respected legal guide Chambers.
It says the team is . . . “highly respected for its representation of clients in alternative dispute resolution proceedings, such as arbitration, mediation and collaborative law. [It] regularly acts on private finance and children matters, and also has strength acting for clients on public children law cases. Clients benefit from its additional expertise in complex matters such as tracing hidden assets in foreign jurisdictions.”
All free divorce appointments must be pre-booked in advance with Stone King and will take place at its office in Queen Square, Bath.
The firm employs more than 240 people across its offices in Bath, Birmingham, Cambridge, Leeds and London.
