Social enterprise pioneers new divorce support panel

'Since the launch of OnlyMums and OnlyDads in 2007 we have had parents looking to us with help in family law matters. A growing reputation for our non-confrontational approach and active social media campaigns means that we are now reaching many thousands of divorcing parents a year. Using our Panel to offer a full and free “diagnostic” conversation helps parents by outlining their options. Parents come to us often fraught, confused and believing they are in some way stuck, or ‘bound to lose’. We find that Resolution family lawyers are invaluable in a number of ways: their experience, their objectivity and their knowledge of the law can provide the key to unlocking a closed door.'

‘... It is a great privilege to be part of this ground breaking co-operation between parents and lawyers in the form of the leading parent group, OnlyDads & Only Mums teaming up with members of Resolution First for Family Law, all of whom have at their heart a determination to resolve family problems, accord mutual respect to all parents and place the interests of children at the centre of their approaches. The offer of a free interview with specialist family firms across the country will go some way to filling the access to justice void left by the withdrawal of legal aid for many family matters.’
