All journeys tend to proceed a lot more smoothly and with a lot less bumps along the way when the direction or route to be taken has been carefully considered, weighed up and prepared for.

Most of us would agree that it would be foolish to embark on a challenging bush walk without a map of the terrain, water bottle, fire lighters, shelter, a compass etc.  and without researching which route we should take to best meet our needs in terms of our fitness level, available time, weather forecast, provisions needed along the way and so on.

Our careful planning for such an event ensures we are best placed to overcome any difficulties that might arise along the way.

Separation and divorce are likewise a journey and for most people a difficult, unfamiliar and challenging one.

In common with all difficult journeys, things will proceed more productively, when the route to be followed has been well thought out and planned in advance.

At Resolve Conflict, we will encourage you to carefully consider the route to be taken for your family, rather than simply focusing on the outcome.

That is not to suggest for a moment that the outcome is unimportant, rather that experience teaches us, we have a much better chance of getting to the end without major mishap or drama, if we plan the route carefully and stay safe along the way.

Part of our service is to provide practical advice and guidance about the different process choices that are available to your family as you negotiate your way from being a family that lives  all together to becoming a family that lives apart.
