Are speedy divorces a good idea?

Are speedy divorces a good idea?

• In the newspaper there was an article recently
  about simplifying divorce proceedings in
  uncontested cases. In divorces such as these it
  makes sense to free up the Courts valuable time
  as about 120,000 couples go their separate ways
  each year.
• It is a worrying thought that divorce is made
  increasingly easy and it may be better to seek
  advice from family solicitors Surrey as at least,
  if you seek to separate, lawyers who are members
  of Resolution will be able to steer you to a
  non-confrontational way to resolve family
  matters.
• The breakdown of a marriage is always stressful,
  even if you are on amicable terms with your
  partner. There are the children to think about
  and also the division of the assets. It is easy
  to see that an amicable arrangement can turn ugly
  over these matters.

Lawyers who are members of this organisation will
endeavour to seek solutions to suit the whole
family, especially where there are children
involved. It cannot be underestimated how
traumatic a family break-up is for children at
any age. Lawyers can also be aggressive towards
the other sides solicitors and for clients to
witness this is distressing too. The Resolution
code of practice is that solicitors should act in
a civilised manner towards each other to minimise
stress to their respective clients. Resolution
guidelines also contain advice on how parents can
deal with the situation in front of their
children. It is worth having a look at the
booklet this organisation has published and you
will find it on their website. It will answer
many of your questions about how to handle a
stressful situation in the home.

• You need to realise that just like you, your
  children will lose the family unit stability and
  through no fault of their own, perhaps their home
  too. If you put yourself in their place you will
  understand how stressful this is for an
  uncomprehending mind.
• Because divorce can be an expensive process when
  there are two disagreeing parties, it makes sense
  to make use of family solicitors Surrey who are
  members of Resolution. The more straightforward
  matters are the less expensive it will be for
  you.
• You need to realise that Legal Aid is no longer
  available to you unless there are special
  circumstances such as domestic violence and
  abuse.

• As already said above, if your parting is
  straightforward and amicable, you may want to
  make use of the new system where divorce papers
  are completed without the courts getting
  involved.
• Typical uncontested separations do take about 33
  weeks to complete under the old system. The new
  proceedings aim to complete a divorce within 48
  hours.
• You need to realise that this gives you very
  little time to think matters through and perhaps
  you will regret going down this route later on.
  You may have got a better deal if you had
  consulted a lawyer for you and your children.
