Divorce fair to help couples splitting up
05 June 2008
Britain's first ever divorce fair will take place this year to help couples who are splitting up.
Lawyers, financial advisers and self-help experts will be on hand at the event, to help estranged spouses get through the separation and rebuild their lives.
Producer of the fair Suzy Miller said she hopes it will help couples afraid of splitting up because of financial worries.
"The emphasis is to provide a great collaboration of lawyers, especially when children are involved, to provide good financial advice to take the fear out of the process and, importantly, to have motivational help to make it feel less doom-laden," she said.
Ms Miller added that people can end up bitter and unhappy if they go through a divorce without the right support and advice and the fair will place a lot of emphasis on mind, body and soul.
The fair will help people realise there is a good future for them, she said.
Divorces fell by seven per cent in 2006 according to the Office for National Statistics, with 12.2 divorces per 1,000 married people.
The fair, called The Starting Over Show, takes place at Brighton Racecourse on October 11th.
