Over the last few months we have seen a surge in family law enquiries due to the pressures faced by many throughout the pandemic.
This may only get worse as we approach Christmas and normally we see a spike in the New Year So, as part of our commitment to the community we have partnered up with some of the best therapists, counsellors and coaches across Glasgow and beyond to give all of our new clients (who contact us about separation or divorce) a unique opportunity to speak to someone who can help. We want to ensure that clients are fully informed before they make any life changing decisions.
Judith quotes ‘we recognise these are exceptionally challenging times for both individuals and families. 2020 has been really tough for everyone and there is a lot of uncertainty in the air. That is why we want people to be able to reach out and ask for help if they need it. No one is on their own. Even when it feels the world is collapsing around them... we are here to give them the support they need via our support network. Everyone is in the same storm but different boats. People are suffering financially, emotionally, and mentally. Some are grieving, some are worried about elderly parents, some have not been able to see their loved ones or friends for months... some are depressed, anxious, lonely, worried about their jobs... some have been made redundant... and that is having an impact on a lot of marriages.
We want to be the anchor they need during this storm.
We feel a duty of care to help people especially during these uncertain times. We want to do as much as we can to help and show that we care.
Sometimes talking to someone out with your immediate circle, who simply listens and advises without judgement, gives people a fresh perspective on things allowing a little light to shine where there was only darkness. Some couples are able to work it out whilst divorce can sometimes be the best option for others. Every situation is unique. So we are offering all new clients a complimentary 20 minute call with our support network to see if separation and divorce is the long term route they wish to go down or if there is a possibility to work things out. Thereafter, if people do wish to separate or divorce, our family law team are here to help them. More details can be found on our website under Family LAW – Divorce Coaching’. Our support network are also on hand to help families who are grieving. Some are trained bereavement counsellors. Please email judith@scullionlaw.com or call 0141 374 2121 for more information.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
