What does Unified in Separation involve?

There are a number of ways in which couples can deal with their separation, and our specialist team are here to guide you through the process.

You will start with an options and information meeting, where we explore each of the available options with you, with a view to creating a tailored and bespoke way forward.

We will also discuss whether it would be beneficial to involve other professionals in the process, such as divorce coaches, family therapists, financial advisors or accountants.
