The team at Divorce Right helped me sort my matters out in a way that was really healing to everybody in the family, so that I could move on to the next chapter. I felt comfortable with them as they were always willing to listen.


I am happy with the service that you have provided me and I will recommend your service. Thank you again.


Anne-Marie and her assistants were friendly, helpful and efficient. Many thanks to them all. I have used Anne-Marie’s services before and will certainly use them again in the future!


I found the Divorce Right team easy to work with and helpful. They also encouraged open communication with my partner in resolving and agreeing on matters in relation to my separation.


Thank you so much for your support and assistance and even follow up, it is so very appreciated!
I am very thankful for your help.

Conflict is an opportunity to hear other perspectives and alternatives and helps build cohesiveness if done well. Managing conflict well is sadly not a skill we have. The natural tendency is to react/retaliate when we feel threatened. But, doing it differently is a skill that can be learned.
