About Resolution

Resolution is a community of family justice professionals who work with families and individuals to resolve issues in a constructive way.

A better way

Resolution was founded in 1982 by a group of family lawyers who believed that a non-confrontational approach to family law issues would produce better outcomes for separating families and their children.

Over the decades, Resolution has maintained a commitment to a constructive way of working, enshrined in our Code of Practice, while growing to become a membership organisation for professionals that work with separating families.

How does the Code of Practice help?

Our Code of Practice means Resolution members will support you to resolve matters as constructively – and with as little conflict – as possible.

Who are Resolution members?

Resolution members come from many professional backgrounds, including solicitors, legal executives, barristers, financial planners and family mediators. Our membership also includes students, trainees, judges, academics and others committed to a constructive approach to family issues.

By bringing together all the different practitioners working in the family justice sphere, the ethos from Resolution’s Code of Practice spreads to new practitioners, helping ensure families dealing with separation and divorce receive the support they need to resolve their issues.
