As all of the family lawyers in Leeds that are part of CFL North England are collaboratively experienced lawyers, they generally help their clients to search out a less hostile path. One of the possibilities available to divorcing couples is collaborative family law.

Mediation is an additional option, which requires limited contribution from family solicitors. In Leeds, experienced mediators are amongst the qualified family solicitors in CFL North England.
