Resolution is a national organisation of family lawyers committed to non-confrontational divorce, separation and other family problems.

Resolution is running an awareness campaign from 30 November – 4 December 2020 (known as Good Divorce Week). Good Divorce Week is an annual campaign that aims to promote practical and constructive ways for separating parents to put the needs of their children first. Organised by Resolution, a community of more than 6,500 family justice professionals, this year the campaign focuses around the benefits of early legal advice, as the organisation prepares to re-launch its public-facing Code of Practice.

For the last three decades, members of Resolution campaigned assiduously for the introduction of a no-fault divorce. As a result of its efforts and commitment to end the blame game and assist families in achieving amicable agreements, the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Bill received Royal Assent in June 2020.

All Resolution members have signed up to a Code of Practice which actively promotes a constructive approach to family issues and to consider the needs of the whole family, in particular the best interests of the children.

Vijaya Sumputh, Head of the Family Department and her team, Lisa Honey and Sarah Canfield at Curwens LLP who are all members of Resolution are proud to support this campaign, promote and endorse their Resolution new Code of Practice. They always aim to manage and reduce conflict and confrontation between separating couples and support parents and families in prioritising the interests of the children and their welfare.

Curwens LLP fully support Resolution’s campaign for re-launching its public-facing Code of Practice. To help in promoting the benefits of early legal advice, during Good Divorce Week, Curwens Family Solicitors will be offering 30-minute free advice sessions remotely (via the telephone or Zoom) to those families who have little-to-no access to professional legal advice when it comes to divorce across all their three offices.

If you are interested in making a free 30-minute advice session, please call our offices on 0208 363 4444 and ask to speak with a member of the Family department.
