New Bath Divorce Service Links Law with Therapy
With summer days ahead, wedding bells become a familiar sound. Falling in love and getting married can be one of life’s high points. Divorce tends to fall at the opposite end of the emotional spectrum.
Divorce is one of the most emotionally disturbing transitions a person can face. The negative emotions associated with divorce, cause more than hurt feelings; they can impact on the final outcome of settlement negotiations or court litigation, how children are affected by their parents’ divorce, and how the divorced couple relate and co-parent into the future.
On top of being a time of deep emotional turmoil, divorce is a legal and even a business transaction. The ultimate challenge of divorce is learning how best to deal with both the legal and emotional issues that arise at a time when many are least able to deal with them objectively.
In recent months, psychotherapist family consultant Christopher Mills and I have been working on bringing together the legal and emotional aspects of divorce. By combining our different professional perspectives and years of experience working in Bath in the fields of family law and family therapy, Christopher Mills and I are now able to help clients understand that the emotional and legal aspects of divorce are part of the same package, have a direct influence on each other and are best managed together.
Together we have created a team approach to offer a unique joint divorce service in Bath. It will help separating and divorcing clients
• Gain perspective on their legal options early on
