Good Divorce Week – Lund Bennett’s commitment to Resolution and the Code of Practice

Members of the team at Lund Bennett are proud members of Resolution, a community of family justice professionals who work with families and individuals to resolve issues in a constructive way.

‘Good Divorce Week’ is an awareness raising campaign from Resolution which runs from 28th November 2016 until 2nd December 2016. The campaign will feature a lobby day in Parliament where Resolution members will be campaigning for improved rights for cohabiting couples and for ‘no fault’ divorces. The Resolution ‘manifesto’ calls for the removal of blame from the divorce process which creates conflict and makes reaching a mutually acceptable agreement much more difficult. Resolution strongly believe that ‘no fault’ divorces will increase the chances of success for dispute resolution out of Court thereby reducing the burden on the currently over-worked court system.

Resolution membership is about the approach we take to our work. This means that as Resolution members, we will always seek to reduce or manage any conflict and confrontation, support and encourage families to put the best interests of any children first and act with honesty, integrity and objectivity.

We know from our experience working as family law professionals, that clients reach the best outcomes when they are helped to understand and manage the potential long-term financial and emotional consequences of decisions. This is why we use experience and knowledge to guide our clients through the options available to them.

As Resolution members, our team have signed up to a Code of Practice that will demonstrate to clients the approach we will always take. The Code promotes a constructive approach to family issues and considers the needs of the whole family, in particular the best interests of children.

If you decide to work with members of the team at Lund Bennett, this means:
• Listening to you, being honest with you and treating you with respect.
• Explaining all the options and giving you confidence to make the right decisions.
• Helping you focus on what’s important in the long-term.
• Helping you balance financial and emotional costs with what you want to achieve.
• Working with others to find the right approach and the best solutions for you.
• Managing stress in what can be an already stressful situation.

Because members of the team at Lund Bennett signed up to the Resolution Code, they work with a network of other like-minded professionals, including mediators, financial planners and family consultants, to make sure we’re helping our clients find the right approach for them.
