Divorce and separation support

Divorce and separation can be one of the most stressful and emotional times in life. Whether you are considering a no-fault divorce, dealing with child arrangements, or navigating divorce finances in the UK, clear guidance and emotional support can make all the difference.

Many people feel overwhelmed by legal language, solicitor letters, and ongoing communication especially when issues involve child custody, parental responsibility, spousal maintenance, or the family home after divorce. The way information is communicated can significantly affect wellbeing, anxiety, and confidence.

Supporting you through divorce communication

I support individuals across England and Wales who are:

  • working with a divorce solicitor or family law solicitor,

  • acting in person in a DIY divorce,

  • communicating directly with an ex-partner,

  • or dealing with a solicitor instructed by the other party.

This includes helping clients understand correspondence, translating legal jargon into plain English, and focusing on what actually moves a case forward whether that relates to child arrangements orders, financial settlements, pension sharing on divorce, or concerns around controlling and coercive behaviour, financial abuse, or parental alienation.

Children, contact and child maintenance

Concerns about children are often the most distressing part of separation. Parents frequently search for answers to questions such as:

  • Who gets custody of the children?

  • Can my ex stop me seeing my children?

  • What is Cafcass and how does it work?

  • Do I have to pay child maintenance and how is it calculated?

Support is available to help you understand child arrangements after separation, child maintenance calculators (CMS/CSA), and how decisions are made in the best interests of the child.

Affordable, practical divorce guidance

If you are asking:

  • How do I get divorced in the UK?

  • How much does a divorce cost?

  • Can I get a cheap or quick divorce?

  • Do I need a divorce lawyer or family mediator near me?

You are not alone. Practical, affordable guidance from CrossRoads21 can help you feel informed, empowered, and in control whatever route you choose.
