Paul Marsh, the President of the Law Society, has issued a statement urging the public to use specialist family lawyers if they are considering a divorce.

What is generally much more complex is sorting out the practical issues such as where each person will live, who gets what, and arrangements for any children.

He also highlighted the growing use and benefits of collaborative law as a means to help the public from going to court.
