# O'Sullivan Family Law
O'Sullivan Family Law is a specialist family law firm based in Hove that pioneers non-court approaches to divorce and separation. Founded by Jo O'Sullivan, a recognised leader in alternative dispute resolution, the firm helps couples navigate the end of their relationships without involving the family courts.
The firm serves couples seeking a more amicable, cost-effective and child-focused approach to divorce and separation. This includes those with children, where the firm places the wellbeing of young people at the centre of proceedings. Clients range from those seeking straightforward uncontested divorces to couples managing complex asset division and parenting arrangements.
What distinguishes O'Sullivan Family Law is its innovative "One" process—a solicitor-neutral model where a single solicitor represents both parties jointly, reflecting changes to divorce law implemented in April 2022. This approach eliminates the adversarial blame-based process that characterised traditional divorces. The President of the Family Law division has recognised the firm as "leading" for developing this methodology.
Beyond legal representation, the firm provides comprehensive resources including published workbooks, educational videos and a podcast series ("Stories of Family Severance") that address practical and emotional aspects of family separation. These materials combine legal knowledge with practical guidance, helping clients understand options including kitchen table agreements and family arbitration.
The firm's philosophy centres on achieving "good divorces and separations"—outcomes that preserve dignity, protect children's interests and resolve matters efficiently outside court.
