Denise is a lawyer, mediator and arbitrator and has worked in family law for the last 30 years. She was part of a group that pushed for the out of court Family Dispute Resolution service which assists parents to make care arrangements for their children. She believes that people need to rearrange their lives in a practical way and that systems should support this rather than set up adversarial conflicting approaches.

Suzanna is a divorce coach at amicable and has worked in the area of family law for the majority of her career.
