Good Divorce Week 2025

What the Resolution Code of Practice Means for You: Understanding Good Divorce Week

Good Divorce Week is a national campaign led by Resolution, an organisation of family justice professionals who believe that even when a relationship ends, it’s possible to separate in a way that is respectful, fair, and focused on the future. 

At Neves, each of our family solicitors is a member of Resolution. 

Divorce and separation are never easy, but they don’t have to be bitter or destructive. Good Divorce Week aims to raise awareness about how families can manage separation with less conflict, especially where children are involved.

At the heart of this approach is the Resolution Code of Practice.

What Is the Resolution Code of Practice?

The Resolution Code of Practice is a set of principles that all Resolution members, including family lawyers, mediators, and other professionals, promise to follow.

It’s all about helping separating couples resolve their issues calmly, constructively, and with dignity.

When you work with a Resolution member at Neves, you can expect them to handle your case with care, respect, and a focus on finding the best solutions for you and your family.

The Core Principles of the Code

Resolution members commit to:

• Reduce conflict and confrontation wherever possible.
• Put children’s needs first, helping parents work together to agree on arrangements that support their wellbeing.
• Act with honesty, integrity, and fairness at every stage.
• Provide clear, practical advice about all your options, not just going to court.
• Help you find long-term, workable solutions, not quick fixes that cause problems later on.

This approach doesn’t mean avoiding difficult conversations, it means managing them in a way that keeps things as constructive and calm as possible.

Why It Matters During Good Divorce Week

Good Divorce Week highlights how important it is to get the right help and advice early in the process.
Working with a professional who follows the Resolution Code means you’ll have someone on your side who’s committed to reducing stress, protecting your wellbeing, and keeping the focus on what really matters; your future and your family.

How This Helps You and Your Family

Choosing a Resolution member can make a real difference. It means you’ll have a professional who will:

• Listen to your concerns and support you through the process.
• Encourage open communication, rather than confrontation.
• Focus on solutions that work for everyone involved.
• Help you move forward positively, so you can start the next chapter of your life with confidence.

A Better Way Forward

Divorce and separation can be emotional and challenging, but with the right support, it’s possible to find a better way.

The Resolution Code of Practice sets the standard for how family professionals should work with empathy, fairness, and respect.

This Good Divorce Week, we’re proud to support an approach that helps families separate constructively and look ahead to a more positive future.
