Good Divorce Week 2025: A Kinder, Healthier Approach to Separation

As Good Divorce Week 2025 begins, family lawyers across England and Wales are coming together to share an important message:
Divorce doesn’t have to be hostile. It can be handled with dignity, clarity, and compassion.

This year, Good Divorce Week highlights the work of Resolution, the national organisation that champions a more positive, respectful approach to family separation.

What Good Divorce Week 2025 Is All About

Good Divorce Week is an annual campaign designed to help families understand that a “good divorce” is possible.
It focuses on protecting the wellbeing of children, reducing unnecessary conflict, and guiding couples towards solutions that feel fair and sustainable.

In a time when separation can feel overwhelming, this campaign offers hope:
there is a calmer way forward.

Resolution’s Role in Supporting Families

Resolution represents over 6,500 family justice professionals who are dedicated to changing the culture of divorce.
Instead of encouraging arguments or pushing cases toward court, Resolution’s approach is grounded in:

• empathy,

• clarity,

• fairness,

• and long-term stability.

These principles help families move through separation with less fear and more confidence.

The Resolution Code of Practice – A Framework for Respectful Divorce

A key focus of Good Divorce Week 2025 is the Resolution Code of Practice, which guides how members support separating couples.
The Code ensures that lawyers work in a way that is constructive, calm, and focused on the welfare of the entire family.

Resolution members commit to:

• Listening with empathy and communicating honestly

• Treating clients with dignity and respect

• Offering clear explanations of every option available

• Encouraging long-term thinking rather than rushed decisions

• Helping families balance emotional and financial needs

• Reducing stress wherever possible

• Working collaboratively with other professionals when needed

This approach ensures clients feel supported, understood, and empowered – not overwhelmed.

How Resolution Members Support You

Resolution members also pledge to:

• Avoid inflammatory or confrontational language

• Put children’s best interests at the centre of every discussion

• Maintain honesty, integrity, and objectivity

• Help clients understand the long-term emotional and financial impact of choices

• Provide guidance without judgement

• Continually develop their knowledge and skills

• Use Resolution’s Good Practice Guides in daily work

• Lead with compassion and professionalism in every case

For families going through separation, these commitments can make an enormous difference.

Why This Approach Matters

The Resolution Code matters because it protects families from:

• unnecessary conflict,

• long, expensive court battles,

• emotional strain that children often absorb,

• and decisions made in the heat of the moment.

A respectful, structured process helps parents communicate more clearly, keeps children shielded from conflict, and supports solutions that work in the long term.

Good Divorce Week 2025 serves as a reminder that a healthy divorce is possible when the process is handled with care.
