You may recall the acrimonious divorce proceedings between Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills.  The ongoing court battles were carefully documented by the press on an almost daily basis and aired on TV for all to see.

There is an alternative to the court process, known as Collaborative Law, which can be used to resolve matters on the breakdown of a marriage or civil partnership, including issues in relation to finances.  It now appears that Madonna and Guy Ritchie could be the first high-profile couple to use the Collaborative Law process.

The collaborative family law process has been available in England for about five years and is becoming an increasingly popular method for couples resolving financial issues on separation.  Resolution, the specialist family law group, has set up a group of collaborative lawyers who are trained and skilled in helping people to benefit from the collaborative approach to resolve family disputes. Stephen Smith at Rix & Kay is an experienced and trained Collaborative Lawyer who will be able to assist you should you choose this method to resolve your disputes.
