If you’re looking for “One Couple, One Solicitor” you may also find it referred to as “Resolution Together”, you’re exploring a way for couples to handle family matters together, efficiently, and without conflict.
What Does One Couple One Solicitor Mean?
One Couple, One Solicitor means both individuals work with a single solicitor for non-contentious matters, usually financial arrangements after separation. The solicitor remains neutral and fair, helping both parties to reach clear, practical agreements which work for them both.
What else is this process known as?
You might also hear this called:
- Resolution Together – which is the term used by the National Family Law Organisation.
- Joint Instructions or Single Representation – describing one solicitor advising both partners.
This process is distinct from Collaborative Law, which is the process where a couple commit to resolving any disputes respectfully through structured negotiations outside of court, but each party instructs their own solicitor, so two solicitors are involved.
One Couple, One Solicitor involves just one neutral legal professional. It’s simpler, quicker, often more cost effective and keeps all proceedings in one place avoiding cross communication with other solicitors.
Why Choose This Approach?
Many couples who reach the end of their relationship, want to move on without the need for conflict or acrimony. They just realise that they have come to the end of their time together and would like to move forward as amicably as possible. This process allows them to:-
- Achieve fair agreements without unnecessary stress
- Keep communication clear and practical
- Save time and costs compared with separate legal advice
- Focus on life after divorce while managing their own wellbeing
Whether you search for One Couple, One Solicitor or Resolution Together, it’s the same principle: joint, neutral legal guidance to help couples reach fair solutions in the most efficient and effective way for them.
