At Family Flow: The Divorce Collective, we know that divorce isn't just a legal process.
And we know that as family lawyers, you have a duty of care for people in vulnerable situations.
We're not here to take away anything you deliver. We're here to make your life easier.
We partner with progressive and collaborative law firms to coach, educate, empower and heal your clients, so they can navigate separation and divorce with knowledge, clarity, grace and integrity. We put the whole family at the centre throughout the process, so every family member has the chance to thrive on the other side.
We know that divorce is overwhelming and destabilising for your clients, and that while your job is legal, you're holding so much more than that in your duty of care for them. The vulnerability clients feel, and the emotions the process unearths, can get in the way of clarity and forward motion, and that's often when costs start to escalate, ultimately impacting your client's future.
We can help with all of this.
In our work with your clients, we help stabilise their nervous systems, and teach them to do this for themselves when they get triggered by their ex, or the process! We help untangle any confusion they’re feeling and empower them to really listen to your advice and instructions, so they can make better, more empowered choices when you need them to! In doing so, their ability to navigate the process and make it easier for you as well as them becomes a clear measure of success!
In helping your clients, we help you.
We've come up against some hesitation in this space before, usually rooted in a fear of losing billable hours. But if you're a firm that puts client wellbeing ahead of profit, we'll work beautifully together, just as we already do with our current partners, including The Family Law Cafe and The Family Law Consultant.
"I have worked with Family Flow for over a year, referring and signposting clients, hosting webinars, and working in collaboration to offer both legal and holistic support in partnership. I can genuinely say that they are a pleasure to work alongside, and they provide a real service to clients that need extra support as they navigate divorce"
Rhiannon Compton, The Family Law Consultant
In practice, we absorb the emotional support time clients often lean on their lawyer for anyway, so the hours you do bill go on the legal work you're trained and paid for, not on being someone's sounding board.
What we offer your clients
We provide 1:1 and group divorce coaching, emotional healing and support sessions, covering a wide range of issues related to separation and divorce, including guidance, strategy, parenting, abuse and recovery, mothering, finances and money mindset, and healing and self-growth.
This can simply be direct with us joining one of our packages, or we can design a completely bespoke solution that can sit within an agreed package or a retainer that they pay you or us directly for. We can also work as part of the "team around the client," liaising with you directly where the client wishes. We can also on occasion support with other client needs, such as attending Mediation or accompanying them to court as a McKenzie Friend. If your client is struggling financially, using or outsourcing to us for Position Statements, help wiht their bundles etc rather than just letting the client go can also work beautifully.
Please email or book a call with us to discuss more.

We also offer consultancy support directly to you, to help when you sense emotional turbulence is derailing a case. As a trauma-informed team, we can help you understand how to best meet your client where they are, so things keep moving forward constructively.

Refer a client whenever it feels right, a quick message is all it takes. We'll take it from there, keep you in the loop where appropriate and with permission from the client, and make sure your client feels fully supported on every side of their divorce, not just the legal one.
