Good Divorce Week 2025 – Why the Code of Practice Matters More Than Ever
Good Divorce Week 2025 will run from 10-14 November, offering an important opportunity to reflect on how family law professionals can better support separating couples and their children.
The initiative, led by Resolution, brings together over 6,500 family law professionals across England and Wales who are committed to promote a constructive and non-confrontational approach to divorce and separation.
This year’s theme, “Year of the Code”, focuses on the Resolution Code of Practice, a framework that underpins professionalism, respect, and collaboration within family law.
What is the Resolution Code of Practice?
The Resolution Code of Practice guides family solicitors in delivering services that minimise conflict and promote fairness. It encourages legal professionals to handle sensitive issues in a way that prioritises the wellbeing of everyone involved, particularly children.
The Code centres on key principles:
- Reducing conflict and fostering cooperation
- Prioritising the best interests of children
- Encouraging respectful and clear communication.
By adhering to these standards, solicitors can help clients make informed decisions that support long-term family stability and personal wellbeing.
Why the Code matters in divorce
Divorce is often emotionally and financially challenging. The way it is handled can have lasting consequences for all parties involved. Following the Code helps to:
- Reduce emotional strain and prevent unnecessary confrontation
- Avoid adversarial tactics that damage relationships
- Support lasting, constructive co-parenting arrangements.
When families approach separation with openness and understanding, supported by skilled solicitors who uphold the Code, they are better equipped to reach fair, sustainable solutions without escalating conflict.
The role of Resolution members
Members of Resolution commit to delivering family law services in accordance with the highest professional and ethical standards. They pledge to:
- Treat clients with respect and empathy
- Communicate clearly and constructively
- Avoid inflammatory or accusatory language
- Collaborate with other professionals to achieve the best outcomes.
