Hi. I love the website;-) its very informative
and the emotions you feel are well covered.
Thank you.
May I first say how helpful I have found your website during the past
2 years when I have been going through a very traumatic and appalling
divorce. In fact I would say it is the best website I have found on
the matter!
You have been very kind and have given me more information than anyone
else in the last 4 years.
Thanks you've been great
When I was suffering, your site was a lifeline
to me
Many thanks for your help in locating a local solicitor for me. I have
spoken to him on the phone (mentioning Divorceaid naturally!) and am
meeting with him on Monday. I would just like to say thanks for your
website; during a very painful
time such as this, it provides not only useful information but much
needed support. I know its a cliché, but keep up the good work!
Hi. Thanks for your excellent, reassuring, supportive website. A real
godsend.
I appreciate your quick email turnaround.
Thanks again for your support
It is a great website. To have a human side to the web pages is
very comforting. Thanks again and kindest of regards, Mark.
Bless your heart for taking time to reply to my
questions and then follow up to make sure I got the info. I went to
the link you gave me and found some information on there that has eased
my mind somewhat. According to that website, I can file from Canada
(which was a major concern of mine) and because we have been apart for
quite some time, I don't have a waiting period to get through. I have
called a local family law lawyer to help me with this.
You were right about everything and I wanted to let you know that just
by answering my email and helping as much as possible, you've made my
day. You were the only one to reply to my email. Thank you so very much.
Have a wonderful day. Jennifer
Many thanks for your time with this. I have received an email from the solicitor and Agnes will be getting in touch with them very soon, hopefully with good results. Being in her predicament, Agnes has had few places to turn and your help and advice has been invaluable. It's very much appreciated. (Re France)
I would like to say a big thank you. God bless
I have spoken to several international lawyers in USA but none were
able to provide the simplified information that Divorce Aid did. Thank
you so much.
Thanks very much for the information, I really appreciate your efficiency.
I started reading your website 3 hrs ago convinced that I was ready
to tackle divorcing my husband who left me 10 months ago for another
woman. Your section on emotions has made me realise that although there
is no chance of reconciliation for us, my emotions are still running
way to high for me to cope. The hatred and anger sections are spot on
and it's good to realise that I am not alone in feeling this way. I
am in the early stages of my first new relationship and just beginning
to realise that I may love again and not all men are the same. Thank
you for making me realise that there is life after a breakup and that
I am not completely to blame.
Once again Mrs Jones has hit the very big nail on it's very big head!!!!
I could substitute my name into every single one of her "thoughts"
they are so like mine - therefore reading them helps me and makes me
realise that there are many other people who are in the same boat as
me...thank you for being there.
Many thanks - I appreciate your help. I did not know where to start
otherwise. (Re international enquiry).
You are a STAR. I am usually able to focus on work and on others' needs
and then -as you say- a sudden shock brings everything to the fore.
My new solicitor is brilliant- she's really on the case and your voluntary
solicitor I talked to was also excellent and a great help. I always
worry as a professional that I provide a quality service and you trust
others to do the same. After talking to the two solicitors you recommended
I can't believe how much extra knowledge of proceedings I have. I am
recommending you to everyone.
Thanks
I really appreciate having
you lot to talk to!!!!
I have written to you once before and I received a lovely e mail back.
I read the website nearly every day as so much of it mirrors my own
experiences so I really appreciate reading everything.
I would like to congratulate you on providing this fantastic service
to people going through one of the most painful experiences in life.
I came across your website after reading an article
in a magazine and have just spent the last couple hours reading through
it, and I feel alot happier knowing that I'm not the only one in the
world feeling like I do and feeling so lonely and having angry teenagers
to deal with. I hope one day to have happiness again and your site has
helped immensely. Denise
During my research I have come across your website and have found it
a great resource for my clients - I always direct them there.
Many thanks for yet again a quick response to my email. I will ring
Jeremy tonight and run through it with him again. The help you have
given is very much appreciated.
Thanks so much for this, you and the divorceaid website have been very supportive at a very difficult time.
Any other advice gratefully
accepted! Thanks for such
a brilliant site too!
Guys
I came across your site completely by chance, or at least Google did.
Having spent the last few hours reading more-or-less the complete contents,
I have to admit that of all the sites I’ve consulted your site,
more so than any other, presents a genuinely unbiased bipartisan perspective.
This in my experience is more than I can say for the British legal system. Nevertheless, your site has convinced me that expediency through compromise is a more productive route than my current strategy of hang the legal expense “you” can rot in hell before I agree to that! Keep up the good work.
Dear Sir/Madam
I think your website is great and only wish the internet had been available
20 years ago.
I am now 32years of age and only just beginning to deal with my parents
divorce of when I was 11 years old (wasn't really able to deal with
it at the time, just suppressed everything)...
I've just found your website and am impressed.
Thanks for this. And many thanks for your help too. It was reassuring to know that there is somewhere these people could go to where all their enquiries and worries would be answered.
I have had a look at your site
and think it is admirable.
Firstly congratulations on a fantastic website; it's extremely informative.
Thank you for all your support. I can certainly assure you it is
reciprocal - I regularly mention the Divorce Aid site to enquirers because
it is such an excellent resource.
I have had a look at your website
which is very interesting and
impressive.
I recently contacted you with regard to leaving my violent husband and
I wanted to thank you for all of the help, information and support I
have received from you and your site.
I have managed to start my new life and it's wonderful, my only regret
is that I didn't find it sooner but we live and learn.
I check back to your site on a weekly basis and reread the information
as it clarifies things immensely. Once again thank you for everything.
Today I visited your website. I think a divorce aid website is a really good initiative, especially since it can be very hard to maintain a good view of what's important when a person is overwhelmed by all the emotion that a divorce can bring.
Thank you. Your information has been invaluable
I am very impressed by the informative and value added way in which your website has been put together...
I would just like to thank you most sincerely for
the name of the
Solicitors you sent me. A Solicitor has dealt with me and I can not
speak highly enough of him. It is no exaggeration to say in my initial
appointment he achieved more in 1 hour than my previous Solicitor did
in 6 mths.
I'm just so pleased I could finally trust a Solicitor to act in my best
interests and take the pressure off me.
He was able to settle the financial dispute in less than a week
and so doing, avoiding the pending 3 day trial that had been booked
which I feel a tribute to his professional skills.
Thank you very much for your
valued advice... Once again, thank you very much for your response.
You have a fantastic
website and I feel stronger with the knowledge I have gained.
G from Edinburgh
I can only say THANK YOU or MERCI as I did not know what to do next and you have been both very efficient and helpful in answering my questions. (Re French case)
I have had a very bad day, must
be all the excitement, conversing with people who really care. I cannot
thank you enough you have really given me a reason to go forward and
believe me I never thought anyone could have given me such a boost.
Speak to you soon.
Thanks again
I am really impressed by the
quality of information provided
on the site.
I have found your website very
informative.
Yours is the only contact that I have
had, who has had the decency to reply. Kindest regards
This is a message for David Hodson and a lady named Christina. I emailed
a while ago with a query regarding a problem I was given at university.
I just wanted to tell them that because of their help I was able to
do well on the assessment and I wanted to thank them profusely from
my heart. Thank you so much to the two of them.
I accidentally linked in to your site this morning and was impressed. I am a Family Lawyer based ...
Thank you for your words of
wisdom.
Firstly, let me say how pleased I was to find the Divorce Aid web site.
Having started with not a clue about divorce, it has really helped to
focus my thinking on what will undoubtedly be an unpleasant process.
I have found your site extremely useful over the last three years. Thanks.
I have found your site by accident (looking for Barefoot Doctor body lotion....well it's a little treat), I have only read Divorce Thoughts...and I identified with so much of it.......and realised....there are load of us in the same boat...but it makes it easier if you pull someone struggling on to the life raft and help them survive the first awful months...My marital home is now sold and I move next week..I am at the end of this dark tunnel and I can feel the sun and smell the flowers...and I look forward to taking my children on our new adventure.....but it helps to know I am not alone in these feelings....Thank you and good luck.
The responses I received to my e-mails were written in a friendly and professional manner. I was provided with valuable advice on a specific financial issue, pointed in the direction of a local family law solicitor and I was particularly impressed by the speed of the responses. Thanks again and Kind Regards, Edward.
The Collaborative Law experience
has been incredible. We knew how much divorce can cost in terms of money
and stress and are so grateful that you pointed us towards this dignified
process. We feel as if we can carry on parenting as friends and have
not had to face each other in court. As it only took a few months, we
can now move on in a positive way. Thank you again. S & P.

Thank you so much for your phone calls. I know what to do now and don't feel so lost. Thanks to all your team.
Any site that features my very favourite quote in the universe is going to catch my attention. And what a fabulous site!
I was so desperate when I sent
you my story by email and I was shocked and delighted to receive your
phone call a few minutes later. You have no idea how much this means
to me. I felt hopeless. I now look forward to your legal team's assistance.
David
Thank you so much for your swift
reply, and thank you for your kind words.
They mean so much.
My brother and I would like
to say that the website has been a
great source of information and guidance, I am so glad I clicked on
it. This has been a very positive experience which is so helpful at
this time of great anxiety. Bless you.
I found your site as a link from the Samaritan's
Web Site. Why was I on the Samaritans site? Looking for some hope as
I travel through the darkness of separation and divorce. I was so moved
after reading your "Divorce Thoughts" that I wanted to register
with your site. So much of the "Thoughts" were true for me
too.
I am lucky with my support and that's why I am planning to do something
positive to help others because I truly know how desperate those long
dark nights can be.
Wow! Thank you so much for your wonderful
help!!!
This is more than helpful, and you have been absolutely wonderful! Thank
you very much!
Thank you so much again - just knowing that Divorce
Aid exists is a real help in itself.
Good Morning
I called Mr Ferguson last night as you suggested and I would just like
to say what a lovely man he is. Very kind and patient - he even said
I could ring back at some point if I needed to.
In this day and age it is extremely rare for anything to be free and
I really can't thank you all enough.
I have told all my friends about your site even though I hope they won't
need you !
Thanks again.
Thank you very much for this - my boyfriend and I
really appreciate it. I just wish I had known of your website when I
went through my own divorce a few years ago.
This kind of support and understanding is invaluable.
Thank you for taking the time
to read this. Dave
I enjoyed looking through your website. Thank you. Mac
Thanks for your understanding. Michael J
Hello
Thank you so much, it is so nice of you to have spent all this time
on me. I will make an appointment asap and will let you know of the
outcome. One more time thank you ever so much.
FG
It is very heartfelt when someone helps you with information that can just make you realise you are not thinking normally. Thank you so much. You can not begin to imagine how much your communication is appreciated. Best regards and god bless you
Thank you so much for your replies to me - it
helps me feel connected with the universe! Despite the support I do
have, I still feel as though I need to 'pinch myself' - I think I am
still in a state of disbelief and shock inside.
I never had the slightest idea just how traumatic this process is.
Best wishes

Hi there, my name's Angela and I have been in contact with your office before with regard to leaving my abusive spouse. You helped me find a wonderful solicitor and provided a wealth of easily understandable information on your site and through very personal and encouraging emails.
I just wanted to let you know that things are now going well. Although it's obviously not completed yet, I feel that the hardest part is over and we're nearly there! With the support of my wonderful legal team and your unmatched clear information and support I feel that this has gone as well as possible with the minimum amount of upset to myself and my children. I wanted to personally and finally thank you for everything, and may many other people value your support as much as my family and I have.
Very kindest regards
and best wishes for your future
Angela
PS I am currently selling my wedding dress on eBay and will be forwarding
the sale amount to you! (it's currently £52 lol) seems only right and
quite an amusing way to raise funds for your site!!!!
Thank you for your prompt response and your kind assistance. I found the site by chance and am so glad I did. I found the tone gentle and reassuring and that is so important at such a traumatic time. The information has been presented in an uncomplicated way, again so important when it all seems so daunting!! I have spent quite a bit of time going through the various sections and cannot begin to tell you how reassuring I found it. Congratulations and thank you.
Thank you so much for the web site. It has given me great comfort and strength to go on. Anon.
Thank you so much. I really thought that there was nothing I could do, don't really know what else to say except thank you again. thank you. C
Thank you for your reply. I am pleased to tell you that we have managed to talk through the problems and difficulties we were experiencing and realised that divorce is not an option either of us wanted, especially with much loved children to consider. M
Many thanks for your support. I found the site very useful and informative. G
I was listening to BBC Radio 2 last night in the dark and a song was requested by one of your volunteers. I wrote the name down and searched this morning and found you straight away on Yahoo Search.
Really useful site. I so love the bits of the site for children and the separate sections for teens - my kids are my main worry at the moment. Just thought that you would like some feedback from a site user - a big thanks to all who thought of the idea and the volunteers who now run it.
Thanks for all your help - by the way the website is fantastic and has been a great help to me over the past 8 months - here's hoping to things working out okay from here.
Thank you so much for your incredibly efficient service.
You are just a mine of information. I am extremely grateful for all your help &would like to make a donation to your cause. F
I feel a bit better now that I will be able to see the solicitor. Thank you for caring. I am very grateful.
Thanks you so much for helping us with our son's problems. He feels much better and sends his thanks via us, his worried parents. Thank you all for caring when we had no-one to turn to.
Hi this is T..'s little sister thank u4 helping him. thank u
You are being a wonderful help and at the end of the day comfort does matter.
Thank you for your honesty.
Your reply has put a lump in my throat for 2 reasons , firstly because I never expected a reply and if I was getting one it would a standard type of letter acknowledgement, I simply recognised that your office must be too busy to give it a personal reply, I know you are busy but I'm so pleased you did. its appreciated . it has done me the world of good , thank you very much
Thanks to the site info I have in place a family law solicitor now sorting that side of things out.
I will get there.
All the very best.
