Publications: Resources that set our members apart

Resolution was proud to release a number of new and updated Guides and Handbooks in 2024.

In our push to make our content more accessible to members, all of our new handbooks were made available both in print and PDF, giving members the choice to get information in the way most appropriate for their needs.

Parenting Through Separation second edition

The second version of the Parenting Through Separation guide being widely purchased from our members. The aim of Parenting Through Separation is to encourage parents to put their children at the front and centre of any decisions made. The guide is an invaluable tool not just for clients, but also family law professionals who may feel less comfortable raising parenting issues with clients, or less familiar with some of the typical behaviours to look out for that can have a detrimental impact on children.

Spousal Maintenance Handbook

The Spousal Maintenance Handbook is an essential resource for family lawyers and family justice professionals covering the Family Court’s power to make or vary orders for spousal maintenance under the MCA 1973. This new handbook considers the different types of periodical payment orders including maintenance pending suit, legal services payment orders, periodical payments and child maintenance.

International Family Law Handbook

The International Family Law Handbook is an indispensable guide for family lawyers covering all aspects of international family law. This is the sixth iteration of the handbook and builds on the rich history of previous versions of Resolution’s international guides over the last 40 years.

The International Family Law and Spousal Maintenance handbooks were unveiled at special book launches, recognising the effort and commitment of the team of authors.


Throughout 2024, Resolution also updated all eight available Good Practice Guides and updated 10 versions of our guidance notes.

We also published new guidance on Female Genital Mutilation cases and produced a set of resources for Litigants in person including top tips for representing themselves in court, guidance on producing bundles, template letters and a glossary of legal terms.
