Please note, this is a directory for services in the London area only.
The organisations listed in this directory are committed to enabling separating couples to navigate separation together and without unnecessary conflict. Frequent, intense and poorly resolved interparental conflict puts children's mental health and wellbeing at risk. The purpose of this Working Together Divorce & Separation Directory is to enable separating couples to understand the range of services available to them, including financial, legal, tax and emotional support. For some couples, working together will not be appropriate, and we each acknowledge that our particular approach is but one of a number of different ones that may benefit separated and separating couples: no one approach can ever be the answer for all.

We have often found that during the divorce proceedings, the “non-financial” spouse, usually a woman, is suddenly cut off from the family advisers. These could include accountants, bankers, investment managers and lawyers.
We look to rapidly fill the gaps by making new introductions and sourcing Divorce Coaches as the emotional well-being of our client is always paramount. We then seek to help complete the Form E and advise on the financial issues whilst at the same time co-ordinating the Lawyers, and if applicable the Coach.
In the aftermath of the proceedings, we can stay involved, managing the advisers, especially the investment managers, and making sure that all of our clients' needs are being met.

We help families and entrepreneurs from across the world with a net worth between £5m - £100m.

Description
We’re amicable, the trusted legal service which helps couples to divorce, separate and co-parent. We’ve assisted thousands of couples to untie the knot, amicably helping them with the legal, financial, and emotional aspects of their separation or divorce.
If your relationship has come to an end, whether you’re married or not, you’ll need to agree on how to split your money, property, and other assets. If you have children, you’ll also have to work out how to navigate parenting post-separation. If you’re married, you’ll need to end your relationship legally by getting divorced.
Our focus is on the future and an arrangement that makes sense for your unique family circumstances. Unlike solicitors, we work with you both, as a couple and we’re also different to mediation because we draft the legal paperwork too. We are experts in working with couples to help them navigate divorce and separation.
We also have a podcast called The Divorce Podcast, hosted by Kate Daly, co-founder of amicable, and an app, the ‘amicable co-parenting app’ to help make parenting post-separation simpler and better for you and your kids. The app is designed to help couples manage all aspects of co-parenting through its co-parenting calendar, messaging tool, and goal-setting function. Using the app helps reduce conflict, tension and stress.
Book a free 15-minute advice call to discuss your options and check whether this is the right service for you.

Description
We have often found that during the divorce proceedings, the “non-financial” spouse, usually a woman, is suddenly cut off from the family advisers. These could include accountants, bankers, investment managers and lawyers.
We look to rapidly fill the gaps by making new introductions and sourcing Divorce Coaches as the emotional well-being of our client is always paramount. We then seek to help complete the Form E and advise on the financial issues whilst at the same time co-ordinating the Lawyers, and if applicable the Coach.
In the aftermath of the proceedings, we can stay involved, managing the advisers, especially the investment managers, and making sure that all of our clients' needs are being met.
Who is the service for?
We help families and entrepreneurs from across the world with a net worth between £5m - £100m.
We have particular experience with women who have minimal experience or desire in managing their financial affairs during, or in the aftermath, of a legal separation.

Bill has developed an innovative and effective model of practice for working with parents who are in conflict with each other. When families are going through traumatic change, the children can respond by being fearful that their parents would not be able to collaborate quickly and effectively to keep them safe. Bill’s focus is to assist the parents to form an amicable, cooperative and collaborative parental alliance with each other, thereby reducing any psychological and developmental load that the children may be carrying.

Family mediation costs vary, according to the number of appointments you need. This itself is partly shaped by the range of issues you are looking to resolve.
For example, if you are looking to mediate agreements over money, parenting and property, you are likely to need more sessions than if your case relates only to money, which will affect mediation costs.
Generally, you can expect to pay in the region of £750- £1,500 per person in mediation fees. Your mediation service will discuss fees and charges with you at the outset. There are no hidden costs or charges. Most people find using family mediation to settle post-separation issues is much cheaper and quicker than heading straight to a solicitor and taking issues through the courts.
Legal aid is available for family mediation. Legal Aid is provided by the government to cover the cost of family mediation services for families in dispute.
It is means-tested. So you have to provide evidence of your current financial circumstances to prove you’re entitled to receive it.
If you are eligible, Legal Aid will cover all your individual mediation costs. It will also cover costs of the initial appointment and first mediation meeting for the other person, if they’re not eligible in their own right.
Eligibility for Legal Aid also enables you to get legal aid for legal costs, up to a cost limit.
