We can offer you a healthier divorce process for a happier future

Here at Wallace, Robinson and Morgan, we genuinely understand that the decision to separate is one of the hardest you will ever have to face. It’s the polar-opposite to the path you had planned and the emotions it provokes will vary, not only according to the reason for which the separation has come about, but also from person to person, day by day and hour by hour. That’s why we tailor our divorce advice specifically to your situation.

The traditional divorce process often encourages individuals to prioritise personal gain, intensifying the negative emotions that arise from separation. Fortunately, there is an alternative—Collaborative Law—a dignified and fair approach for both parties that allows you to avoid court involvement, maintain control, and minimise the emotional impact on you and your loved ones both during and after the process.

Why Choose Us as your Divorce Solicitors?

Our divorce service is unique, as our team is trained in both traditional and collaborative family law, which sets us apart from most law firms. Offering divorce advice in Birmingham, Solihull, Dorridge, and surrounding areas, we provide clients with the option to choose between the traditional divorce process or the Collaborative Law approach.

Kathryn, one of the few lawyers skilled in both methods, brings over 20 years of experience, empathy, and professionalism to help you achieve a divorce outcome that feels right for you.

Benefits to the Collaborative Law divorce process:

Collaborative Law offers a new, non-confrontational way to resolve family issues like divorce, finances, and child contact. Settlements are reached through cooperation in face-to-face meetings with collaboratively trained lawyers, without court involvement.

The Collaborative Law divorce process helps avoid regret by ensuring a fair financial outcome for both parties and minimizing emotional harm to your children. It offers a positive path forward for your family, allowing you to feel proud of handling the divorce in everyone’s best interest. Some of the further benefits to this process includes;

More dignified than the traditional divorce process
Gives the best chance of maintaining an amicable relationship
Control is maintained (control is lost once judges are involved in the traditional divorce process)
Potentially cheaper due to a shorter process and no court costs. In fact, 90% of cases are resolved without further legal action.
Ensures a fair outcome for both parties
Without a court-imposed timetable, parties have the freedom to resolve matters at their own pace and find the best possible compromise.
Reduces the emotional impact on the couple, their children (if applicable), and the wider family.
