Mediation in Divorce

Girlings Solicitors’ Family Law specialist Gemma Purt, who is accredited by The Law Society for Family Law and also a member of Resolution, explains the Family Law team at Girlings’ approach to achieving an amicable divorce.

If your relationship has broken down you may feel angry, depressed, numb and most likely confused about what steps you need to take next.

The initial fixed-fee interview is an important first step. Gemma offers a fixed fee interview where people can meet her and talk through issues face to face, look at the options and find solutions for the way forward. Gemma goes through a great deal of useful information at this first meeting and always gives her clients information to take away so that they can study this in more detail, the points discussed at the initial interview are then confirmed in a letter.
