Christina Rockwood, partner at Miller Parris Solicitors, is trained in the Collaborative process and together with a specialist group of lawyers and experts has formed The Worthing Pod, (www.worthingfamilylaw.com). 

These local experts are committed to assisting you manage your separation or family dispute in a way that best meets your needs.  The Worthing Pod advocates an alternative way to resolve your family disputes in a way that is led by you and the needs of your family and avoids unnecessary conflict and animosity.

Separation or divorce can be an extremely emotional and stressful time and very often the thought of having to go to Court to resolve financial issues or the arrangements for your children can cause added anxiety.

The Collaborative process offers an alternative as it encourages the parties to find a solution to any issues by agreement in a constructive and non-confrontational way.

If the collaborative route is chosen both parties and their lawyers sign an agreement preventing the lawyers from representing the parties in Court if the collaborative process breaks down.  This means that both the parties and their lawyers are committed to finding the best solutions by agreement, rather than through Court proceedings.  By having your lawyer by your side throughout the process ensures that you have their support and legal advice throughout the process.

If you feel that the collaborative process is for you or would like to find out more about The Worthing Pod, please contact Christina Rockwood on 01903 205771 or email at christinarockwood@millerparris.co.uk.
