"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Words can't express how grateful I am for all your hard work, professionalism and belief in myself. You are fantastic at your job and I truly believe that I wouldn't have had the same result if it wasn't for yourself."

"When times seemed hard and apparent incompetence of others around us seemed to far outweigh our own resources, it was a breath of fresh air to have you dealing with this important issue on our behalf. Your enthusiasm and professionalism knew no boundaries along with your sense of humour, which I remember has been tested to certain limits, but at least we could smile whilst making progress."
Simon & Liz, Carmarthen

"After another Central London Education Law Firm failed, Mike was confident with my case from the offest and succeeded in reinstating me back into Leicester Medical School! What makes Mike so good, is not just his really good way with words, his vast experience or his in-depth knowledge of law, but his genuine compassion for his clients. He genuinely treats his clients like his own children. I will be referring a lot of people to this firm in the future. Thanks again SinclairsLaw, you have genuinely changed my life and I will be eternally grateful"

Considering your Children
So far we have concentrated on the financial issues. What about the Children?
In our society, people generally think about children in three ways;
- As chattels / “they belong to me” – “I have invested all I have in them. I see in them my hope for the future.”
- As weapons – “if he thinks he is going to see them whenever he wants, he is crazy.” “If I am paying for them, I am going to decide who visits and when I see the kids.”
- As people afraid about the future, divided in loyalty, having feelings and needs independent from either of you but totally dependent on both of you.
Most of us have a combination of these feelings and sorting out which of them is valid is very difficult. The reality is that your children need both of you and you both need the children. You are the only parents they will ever have and you will need to cooperate in the future as parents. We will help you negotiate an agreement that provides for a parenting role for both parents in the interests of the children.
Obviously, neither of you wants to put the children at a disadvantage. You both want the best for them. However, if the children are viewed as bargaining tools or ignored during the negotiations, then there is a danger of harming them.
Mediation in relation to Children issues is often a far quicker and more cost effective means of progress, than corresponding via solicitors.Such letters can quickly become acrimonious, judgemental and deeply distressing. Joint agreement on pressing ,day to day issues, and /or contact arrangements, can quickly be made in a joint mediation session, leading to far less stress, reduced legal cost, and indeed, less worry for the children themselves.
The important thing to remember is that you will always be parents to your children even though you decide to no longer be husband and wife or be parents living together.
You are both parents, and whilst you may no longer be able to share the day-to-day responsibility of caring for the children, you can share the week-to-week responsibility of looking after them and making joint parental decisions.
How you work out the parenting issues will have a significant impact on the emotional life of your children and their future relationship with you as they mature.
