Your process options for divorce and dissolution
For many people, the best way to sort out their separation or divorce is away from the family court. There are many ways in which you and your ex can sort out all the decisions required, especially around money and children, enabling you to reach a final agreement.
Different options for divorce or dissolution
Here are some ways in which you can approach your separation and divorce away from the courts. We highly recommend that you seek advice from a Resolution member as early as possible to discuss which of these approaches would suit you best.
- DIY – reaching an agreement between yourselves
- Lawyers negotiating on your behalf
- Resolution Together and joint legal advice for separating couples
- Parenting Co-ordination
- Mediation
- Collaborative practice
- Arbitration
- Going to court
- Private Financial Dispute Resolution
There is no silver bullet approach as every family and relationship is different. A Resolution member will guide you to think through your options and decide which process or combination of processes would be most suitable.
Whichever process you choose, parenting information is also available to support you.
