In such a situation, it is essential for the divorcing spouses to have a strong network of friends and family for emotional and financial support.<\/p>\n<p>Couples who have been experiencing problems for some time may utilise their spare time to consider their feelings and talk things through with their partner.\u00a0 Other couples may wish to have a final holiday or time together as a family before making a fresh start.\u00a0 Often, married parents do not wish to upset their children unnecessarily and will simply wait until they are back in a settled routine at school before they consult a solicitor.<\/p>\n<p>Such arrangements are relatively new phenomenon. Increasingly, couples are agreeing on their decision to divorce prior to visiting family law solicitors, and it is only the cost of a divorce that stops them from proceeding further. Good solicitors can help matters remain amicable while also providing guidance, advice and legal certainty.<\/p>\n<p>Simply.Law\u2019s member divorce lawyers know that divorce can seem particularly daunting when money is tight. We believe that if an agreement is already in place and it is merely a matter of putting it into a formal agreement, then the costs should not be sky high. In many cases, ensuring a fixed cost from the outset can give real peace of mind to the client.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simply.Law enables the consumers of legal services to make intelligent and informed choices regarding their divorce and family law legal representation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":9603,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[12357],"tags":[8487,8601,10487,8883,9845,8928,10485,10486],"class_list":{"0":"post-4624","1":"articles","2":"type-articles","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-divorce-and-separation","8":"tag-advice","9":"tag-divorce","10":"tag-divorce-proceedings","11":"tag-family-law-solicitors","12":"tag-financial","13":"tag-living-together","14":"tag-married-couples","15":"tag-separating"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Moving On: Addressing the Challenges of Divorce Proceedings - Simply Law England Wales<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Navigating divorce proceedings can be challenging.
