Marc Etherington talks about Divorce from a male perspective

Miles from Miles Marketing hosts a special guest webinar with Mark Etherington, a family law solicitor and legal director at Raiden Solicitors. The conversation covers Mark’s journey into family law, the importance of understanding the mental health impact of divorce, and a thorough overview of divorce, children, and finances in the eyes of UK law. Mark shares practical insights on no-fault divorce, parenting after separation, and the modern approaches to achieving a ‘good divorce’ including mediation, collaborative practice, arbitration, and early neutral evaluation. He also addresses the myth that UK courts always side with women, noting how outcomes are increasingly gender-neutral and focused on practical fairness for all parties. They conclude with practical tips for those starting this journey: prioritise mental health and early legal advice, find a good team including a financial adviser, and maintain clear communication throughout the process.
