Separation is never easy. It can bring with it uncertainty, emotional strain, and important decisions about your home, finances, and family. At Lyons Bowe, we believe there is a better way to separate, one that focuses on dignity, clarity, and solutions that work for everyone involved.
Traditionally, separation and divorce were viewed as adversarial processes, often leading to tension, stress, and unnecessary expense. The introduction of no-fault divorce and dissolution laws in England and Wales has changed this landscape. Couples no longer need to assign blame, making the process more straightforward and respectful.
This shift encourages a more constructive approach helping families find a way forward without adding conflict to an already difficult time.
When children are involved, separation isn’t just about two people ending a relationship it’s about reshaping family life. At Lyons Bowe, we support parents in finding practical, fair, and child-focused arrangements that put the wellbeing of children at the centre. Your Options for Separation
Every family is different, and so are the ways to separate. Our Family Law team can guide you through the right path for your situation:
• Mediation – Work with a neutral mediator to reach agreements together.
• Collaborative Law – Each of you has your own solicitor, but you commit to resolving issues outside of court.
• Negotiation – We can negotiate on your behalf to protect your interests while seeking a fair outcome.
• Court Proceedings – If agreements cannot be reached, we will represent you with skill and care.
At Lyons Bowe, we combine legal expertise with a compassionate approach. We know that separation isn’t just a legal process it’s a personal journey. That’s why we provide:
• Clear, straightforward advice without jargon
• Support tailored to your circumstances
• Guidance on finances, property, and childcare arrangements
• Offices across the South West and South Wales for convenient, personal support
Separation marks the end of one chapter, but also the beginning of a new one. With the right advice and support, you can move forward with confidence.
