ABSTRACT
A feminist approach to understanding what is happening in the solicitor’s office adopts a constructivist perspective46 and accepts very little as given. It means that dominant understandings are allowed to be changeable. Crucially, it holds that part of the changeability lies in what the previously silenced can contribute to the meaning making project. A feminist approach would, therefore, ascribe agency to the parties to the divorce and to the children of divorce and would mean that the rhetoric of child focus is taken seriously.
