Separation and divorce
This part of the site aims to help you through the process of separation and divorce, with information about planning (if you have time), to the legal process, and building your new life after separation.
If you cannot find the information you need, please contact us and we will do our best to find it out for you. Please note that we may be unable to answer your E mail personally, but your ideas will be valued and we will do our best to help.
All or information is based on women’s real experiences, and backed up by research based evidence.
More information, and greater details of research, are found in our information leaflets, available soon.
Sometimes women involved in disputes in the family court find their role as mother is not valued or - if they have been affected by domestic violence - they are not believed. Our information leaflets are designed to support you, and those who work with you, in understanding your situation, and building a case, by providing information backed up by a wealth of evidence based research.
Disclaimer: Maypole seeks to offer women information and support, and raise awareness of issues which could arise before, during and after parental separation and divorce. Statements are supported by independent experiences and academic research. Full references will be available in our information leaflets, available later. However, we advise also seeking professional and independent legal advice before taking any action.
