Most high profile and celebrity couples will issue a joint statement when they separate. They do it to set a tone: please don’t make a big deal about the end of our marriage, we have achieved a lot together and we want to navigate this next stage with dignity and privacy.

We think every separating couple should do the same (bar the press release!). Think about the legacy of your marriage, carefully and, if you can, together. This is a defining moment. How do you want to portray it? Because everyone around you will take their lead from you.

You may well need professional emotional support with this, and separation counsellors can be brilliant.

The aim is that you can both get to a place where you can say: our relationship was great while it lasted. Yes, it had it’s up’s and downs, and it had a shelf life. And that’s OK. We’re going to navigate this divorce the way we’ve navigated the rest of our relationship: with dignity and respect. We’re not going to let the ending contaminate what came before. So please, don’t pick sides: we’re working together and there’s no drama here.

If you have more questions about this topic or any other legal issues arising on divorce or separation, please do get in touch as we are always happy to help. You can call us on 0203 488 4475 or email contact@thedivorcesurgery.co.uk.
