Family Lawyers Support the New Resolution Code of Practice

November 29, 2016 12:30 pm - Categorised in: Family

At Ellis-Fermor and Negus all our Family lawyers are proud members of Resolution, a community of family justice professionals who work with families and individuals to resolve issues in a constructive way.

But what is Resolution all about?

Resolution membership is about the approach we take to our work. This means that as a Resolution member, I will always seek to reduce or manage any conflict and confrontation, support and encourage families to put the best interests of any children first and act with honesty, integrity and objectivity.

I know from my 30 years plus working as a family law professional, that clients reach the best outcomes when they are helped to understand and manage the potential long-term financial and emotional consequences of decisions. This is why I use experience and knowledge to guide my clients through the options available to them.

As a Resolution member, I have signed up to a Code of Practice that will demonstrate to clients the approach I will always take. The Code promotes a constructive approach to family issues and considers the needs of the whole family, in particular the best interests of children.

If you decide to work with me, this means:

• Listening to you, being honest with you and treating you with respect.
• Explaining all the options and giving you confidence to make the right decisions.
• Helping you focus on what’s important in the long-term.
• Helping you balance financial and emotional costs with what you want to achieve.
• Working with others to find the right approach and the best solutions for you.
• Managing stress in what can be an already stressful situation.

Because I’m signed up to the Resolution Code, I work with a network of other like-minded professionals, including mediators, financial planners and family consultants, to make sure I’m helping my clients find the right approach for them.

A separation or divorce is an emotionally difficult time for everyone involved. Please don’t go through it alone. We are here to help. Speak to us at an office near you today.
