I would like to thank our team of expert editors and contributors for their time and dedication to the Divorce Manual throughout 2022, ensuring that the Manual provides separating couples a clear and authoritative roadmap for divorce and separation, using the mediation process.
They are all highly qualified and experienced in working with separating couples, committed to helping them find their way through the complex maze of family law and information, enabling them to work out their own separation solutions in mediation and avoid court, putting the principles of self-determination, at the heart of their approach.
You can find many of these professionals talking to the author, in a series of Expert interviews.
It has been a privilege to have worked with them all on this Manual. Of course, the work continues.

In addition to these experts, we have worked with and learned from many other wonderful family professionals along the way, from a wide range of expertise, all dedicated to helping and supporting couples and their children through their separation. They include the following:
Ceri Griffiths, David Kite, Lottie Ken, Jackie Stuart, Zena Hanks, Marcia Shaoul, Mark Jones, Neil Griffiths, Nicola Withycombe, Paula Crowhurst, Tasha Walsh and others who form part of the Compass Resolution Experts in support of mediation.
Much of what we have learned from these professionals can also be found in this Manual.
Finally, and by no means least, I must thank all the mediation clients I have worked with over the last 26 years. I hope that this Manual goes so way to repaying them for everything I have learned from them.
We hope that you find it useful.
