On Monday the Daily Mail reported that “England cricketer Monty Panesar’s recent drunken meltdown was triggered by the stress of a bitter break-up with his wife.” Sources say that he is devastated by the breakdown of his marriage and subsequent divorce.

As a Family Law Solicitor dealing with all Family and Personal Matters we understand that coming to terms with a separation is often the hardest time for a client especially when one spouse wants a Divorce and the other doesn’t. It can mean that person cannot manage the process or the

decisions that they need to make.

That’s where Family Mediation Solicitors can help as a means to assist couples with their separation and subsequent decisions about the children and finances. Sometimes one of them simply needs the chance to ask the other why, so that they can both move forward and resolve the conflict.

Mediation provides a safe controlled environment for separating couples to reach an agreement with a specially trained independent mediator. At Slater & Gordon we offer family mediation from our London, Milton Keynes and Manchester offices.
