Divorce and Mental Health
When a spouse is lost through divorce, many people find themselves without a clear roadmap for how to process both the loss itself and the development of a new life and identity separate from the marriage. While for some divorce is a relieving end to a dissatisfying relationship, for others, the disintegration of the relationship and the divorce itself cause deep psychological distress that keeps you from moving forward.
For some, the common feelings of anger, resentment, confusion, fear, shame, and anxiety during and after divorce take up permanent residency in your emotional makeup and wreak havoc on both your mental and physical health. This can be the case even if you were the one who chose to leave the marriage. Our expert team of trained mediators are advocates when it comes to mental health and have the relevant training to understand the impact of separation on a person’s mental well-being.
British Asian divorce is generally breaking families into an ethnic society of single-parent mothers and isolated fathers. A growing number of young Muslims in the UK are entering marriages that are not legally recognised. This is because couples are having an Islamic wedding without the civil ceremony needed for the marriage to be recognised under British law. If a nikkah was not performed in a registered building, no certificate had been issued and no registrar was present, as such it is a non-qualifying ceremony.
This often leaves muslim women who have only had a nikkah in the UK in a vulnerable position because if their marriage breaks down, they would only be treated as cohabitees and would not have the financial remedies following the breakdown of a marriage. This will result in many women having to resort to Sharia Courts, which many are reluctant to do. At Primrose mediation we like to empower our clients to help them reach a fair settlement, despite not having the protection of the law, we understand the cultural sensitivity surrounding this.
What is Family Mediation?
Mediation is the process by which families can negotiate about future arrangements for children with the help of a neutral third party. The mediator does not tell parties what to do, but can help the parties to reach their own agreements amicably, whilst trying to improve communication between them.
Thinking practically can be hard when you are the one going through the separation and feeling the emotion of it which is why having a mediator early on can be a real advantage, giving you access to someone who can help you think through your options with clarity. At Primrose mediation we aim to make your separation work in unique circumstances, it should make sense for you, meet the needs of your children and stay within your financial means. We lead clients through your options at your own pace, be a point of reference and give you some confidence to move forward.
What issues can be discussed in mediation?
Deciding whether to separate from your partner is one of the biggest decisions you can make and it is an incredibly emotional one too. Clients will often need guidance on how to make co-parenting work. Sometimes clients need a nudge in the right direction on what to do next.
If you’re in the UK as a dependant on your partner’s visa, you’ll also need to check if you can stay – check if you can stay in the UK on a visa after separation or a divorce.
