Shownotes

There’s no ‘one size fits all’ approach to divorce, and each separation will take a different path, but how do you decide the best approach to take?

When a marriage comes to an end, every choice can feel overwhelming, particularly if children are involved. Whether it's mediation or court, knowing the options that are available to you from the outset can avoid additional cost and time, and ultimately provide better outcomes.

Coming together to consider the benefits and drawbacks of each are Zahra Pabani, Clare Wiseman and Claire Filer, Partners in our family law team, and Laura Heaton, Barrister from 29 Bedford Row Chambers. In the podcast they discuss:

  • Navigating the international implications of the divorce process
  • The increase in alternative dispute resolution methods
  • The options available to separating couples
  • Benefits of court vs mediation cases.
