Welcome
Richard Sharp of Sharp Family Law, Family Lawyer, Mediator and CollaborativePractitioner serving separating and divorcing clients in Bath, Bristol and across
South and South West England
Having practiced in the specialised field of Family Law and Divorce Court litigation for over 25 years in Bath, Bristol and Swindon, Richard Sharp is devoted to helping separating and divorcing clients who want to avoid the trauma of prolonged arguments to reach solutions that work for them and their families.
The Concern of Separating and Divorcing Parties
The end of a personal relationship can be the beginning of traumatic and unfamiliar emotional feelings, financial changes and legal processes. Many parties want to side step those feelings, escape the personal challenges and believe that the divorce Courts will make the right decisions and secure a better financial settlement for them and their families.
But often the Court process in Divorce can feel like a form of battery, failing to meet expectations, with costs and expenses accelerating or even out of control, and emotions becoming overwhelming and destructive.
The Opportunity for Separating and Divorcing Parties
Without the intervention of the Divorce Courts, separating and divorcing parties can
-
Successfully adjust to the realities of their new situation,
-
Reach agreeable financial and family solutions,
-
Preserve relationships and move on with their lives.
Through the non-adversarial approaches of Collaborative Practice, Mediation and Constructive Negotiation, you can find, tailor and produce an outcome that would work better for you and your family after a separation and/or divorce.
