The establishment of the no-fault divorce system means that the application process for divorce is much easier than it was previously. Couples are now able to separate amicably without having to blame one another for the breakdown of the marriage. This means a lot less conflict, hurt and upset, and it means in a lot of cases both parties can maintain an amicable relationship. This is important for many different reasons and can be achieved with the help of our divorce solicitors in Guildford.
The effects of divorce on children
One of the major concerns when people decide to separate is the welfare of the children. To be able to maintain an amicable relationship has a significant impact on your children’s lives. Studies show that when parents go through a divorce this can cause children to become insecure, it can result in emotional and behavioural problems and it can lead to guilt, sadness and depression. This can continue into adulthood and affect the rest of their lives, including their own marriages and their relationship with their children. However if dealt with in the correct manner, especially if your relationship has become difficult or toxic, then divorce can have a positive effect on children and has even said to promote resilience and adaptability.
Child custody
Millions of children across the country are affected by divorce, therefore it is very important that the process is dealt with correctly to reduce the impact that it has. You need to speak to our divorce solicitors in Guildford if you are considering applying for a divorce, so that you can be aware of what will happen to your children if the divorce does go ahead and you can secure the best possible outcome for them.
