Family Dynamics during a Pandemic

CLICK HERE TO WATCH ON YOUTUBE

The family law team here at Harper Macleod have noticed an increase in approaches from individuals considering separation, and who want to discuss how the pandemic has affected their family life. Research shows that people tend to consult a solicitor before seeking counselling or family therapy.

The dynamics that play in relationships can be responsible for the breakdown of a relationship but also impact upon how the process of separation and divorce unfolds. Our Head of Family Law, Amanda Masson, explores these topics in conversation with Myra Eadie, family therapist, looking at:

• How the lockdown has affected family dynamics
• The emotional impact of separation
• The decision making process
• The value of taking a holistic approach to separation
• How taking timely advice from a family lawyer can ease the worries arising from separation
• Advice for individuals considering separation on managing the emotional impact
