Divorce doesn’t have to mean conflict.

This Good Divorce Week (25–29 November 2025), our Family Law team at Richard Reed Solicitors are proud to support Resolution’s annual campaign, promoting a better way to help families through separation.

Good Divorce Week is a national initiative led by Resolution, a community of over 6,500 family justice professionals who work to support separating families in a constructive and respectful way. The campaign shines a light on how families can resolve issues without unnecessary conflict, and why that approach benefits everyone, especially children.

At Richard Reed Solicitors, Family Law team are proud member of Resolution and follows its Code of Practice, which promotes a constructive, non-confrontational approach to family issues.

That means:

Encouraging communication rather than confrontation
Supporting parents to put children’s needs first
Focusing on long-term solutions that work for everyone
Helping clients explore alternatives to Court, wherever possible

This year’s campaign reminds us that separation can be handled differently, with understanding, empathy and a focus on positive outcomes.

Whether you’re considering a divorce, need guidance on child arrangements, or simply want to understand your options, our Family Law team is here to help.

We take the time to listen, explain your choices clearly, and work alongside you to reach the best possible outcome for your family’s future.

What our clients say

Terms and conditions, a necessity to protect your business and your customers. We needed to develop new T&C's to reflect our current operations. In this past this has been complex, expensive and time consuming. Including difficult too understand legal jargon and language that is often included in T&C's. As we operate with transparency is was very important that our T&C's are clear and easy for our customers to understand and agree to. Right from the beginning Phil removed the complexity and jargon, resulting in brand new T&Cs which are customer friendly. He made the whole process easy, efficient and painless! Thank you Phil!

Commercial Law

Excellent, everything from the start to the finish done very professionably.

Wills, Trust & Probate

Richard Reed handled all aspects of the sale of my sisters house recently. They were always available to clear up outstanding details.
their advice was clear and concise. Their costs were entirely reasonable. Everyones demeanour was to be kind and helpful. I would be happy to recommend them and will use them again.

Residential Conveyancing

Kat could not have been more helpful, valuable, professional or friendly. I could not have asked for a better experience in going through my settlement agreement than the service I received from Kat and she was the reason we achieved an outcome far more beneficial to me than I expected. In our conversations Kat was very clear about the process, she did not rush me through any of my questions or decision-making and I genuinely felt like it was important to her that I got the best outcome possible. I would not hesitate at all to work with Kat again or to recommend her to anyone else who would need legal advice. Thank you, Kat!
