The Divorce Studio

The Divorce Studio helps people avoid separation, plan and prepare for separation, get through separation and divorce, and thrive beyond it. The brainchild of family lawyer, Melanie Tonazzi and her co-founder Julie Ockerby, it is a social impact initiative aimed to divert people away from the conflict and anger that often arises during separation, to a place of amicable and conscious uncoupling and co-parenting. The Divorce Studio aims to be Australia’s leading source of holistic separation and divorce information. The platform places families first. It provides inspirational advice to help people understand the practical steps they can take to existing issues in their relationship to avoid relationship breakdown. It teaches families how to solve immediate problems, how to prepare for separation including how to create a positive parenting plan, how to manage the financial issues that arise from the creation of two households, how to divide assets without conflict, and provides the tools families need to negotiate outcomes successfully and avoid litigation. The Divorce Studio inspires users and aims to direct their focus on achieving the positive divorce outcome other separated families have managed to achieve by bringing the best of themselves to the divorce process. There will be stories of people who have separated amicably and continue to share and enjoy positive loving relationships with their ex-partners even though they've gone through the process of separation and divorce. The Divorce Studio is the advisor who thoughtfully explains things to minimise conflict and costs. It sets out the steps people need to take to create closure in their relationship story. It provides the advice they need along with clear steps to take from where they are to where they want to be. The end of your relationship story does not need to be the beginning of your war story. The Divorce Studio will show you how.
