Legal advice vital in divorce

Office of National Statistics figures showed divorces in 2009 and 2010 had risen by 4.9 per cent, with money worries a major factor.

Julie Stanley, family solicitor at Alsters Kelley, has written a factsheet relating to the statistics. Others relating to divorce, separation and mediation are available on the firm’s website.

She said: “The statistics were not surprising, given our experience that financial difficulties can often cause or exacerbate relationship problems. At such times it is crucial to ensure that appropriate and creative legal advice is sought.”
