FJG is proud to support Good Divorce Week 2025 (10-14 November), an annual campaign organised by Resolution, the community of family justice professionals committed to helping families resolve issues constructively.
This year’s campaign celebrates the Year of the Code, highlighting what sets Resolution members apart and why choosing a Resolution solicitor makes a real difference when you’re going through separation.
Divorce and separation are rarely straightforward, but they don’t have to mean prolonged disputes and court battles. At FJG, our family law team believes in a different approach – one that reduces conflict, preserves dignity, and puts families, especially children, at the heart of every decision.
Why early legal advice matters
The family court system is currently facing significant delays, with over 1,000 new cases starting every working day. The average case length has risen by 36% since 2018, from 26 weeks to 41 weeks. These delays create additional stress for families during an already difficult time.
Early, practical legal advice can help couples understand their options and reach agreements without lengthy court processes. When families receive the right support at the right time, they’re far more likely to find solutions that work for everyone involved.
How FJG can help
Our experienced family law team offers plain-speaking, practical advice tailored to your circumstances. Whether you’re considering separation, arranging finances, or making decisions about children, we’re here to support you with:
- Confidential initial consultations
- Clear guidance on mediation and collaborative approaches
- Support with arrangements for children
- Help with financial settlements
- Court representation when necessary
We’re committed to helping you find the best way forward for your family.
