Jo Edwards appears on ITV’s Lorraine to share advice on how to handle a relationship break-up

During Lorraine’s ITV morning show on Friday 8 September, Head of Family, Jo Edwards joined Lorraine and celebrity relationship expert, Paul Carrick Brunson on the sofa to share advice on how to have a good break-up.

In the segment they discussed the fact that September is the second busiest time of year for couples to separate, perhaps due to families spending prolonged periods together or people waiting until children have finished GCSEs or A-levels. 

Jo shared advice for separating couples, particularly those with children and the importance of keeping the children’s best interests at heart of any decisions arising from a break-up. Whilst any separation can be hugely emotional it is crucial that children are not exposed to parental conflict and that children are permitted to have a good relationship with both parents provided that that is safe. Jo and Paul said that children should always be considered the compass when it comes to dealing with separation and the motivation to resolve conflict.

Although Jo has extensive experience of taking cases to court where needed, she is well-known for her conciliatory, pragmatic approach and desire to settle even the most complex of cases where possible. As a trained mediator and collaborative lawyer, Jo is one of only a handful of lawyers in London qualified to consult with children in mediation.
