Recognised Family Law Professionals

I am proud to be a member of Resolution, a nationally recognised network of family law professionals who advocate for a non-confrontational approach to resolving family disputes.

Resolution members, including myself, are committed to a strict code of practice that prioritises constructive resolution and minimal conflict, especially in cases involving separated families and their children.

Aligned with this philosophy, I actively encourage my clients to reach mutual agreements on familial matters, particularly regarding child arrangements, before considering court action. It is profoundly beneficial for parents to collaboratively decide on these matters whenever possible.

Resorting to court is advised only as a last resort after all other options have been thoroughly explored. An amicable solution reached through collaboration not only minimises stress but also promotes a healthier long-term environment for all involved, especially the children.
