Written by Simeon Bowen-Fanstone, Solicitor in the Family Team
The annual ‘Good Divorce Week’, promoted by Resolution, aims to highlight the current crisis in the family courts and to raise awareness of the alternative ways that families can resolve their issues away from Court, and how Resolution members can guide families through the process.
Both of our family solicitors at Onions & Davies are proud to be members of Resolution, and are committed to a constructive approach to dealing with Family Law issues.
Family Court Crisis
As members of Resolution, we believe that if the government was prepared to fund early legal advice, more cases could be resolved without going to court (where it is safe and appropriate to do so). This would reduce the backlog on the Court system and ensure that those cases that require the Court’s intervention can be dealt with in a timely manner.
At Onions & Davies, we have written to our local MP, Helen Morgan, to raise awareness of the issues currently facing families going through the Family Courts, and we hope that she will lobby the government to make improvements that will reduce the current Family Court backlog.
