Siobhan Mullins

Before founding Paper Advocate, Siobhan spent 10 years practicing as a family lawyer. During that time, she established Separate Together, a boutique family law firm renowned for making the complexity and anxiety of separation “simple and easy.” After more than seven years at the helm of Separate Together, Siobhan chose to close the firm and step away from legal practice.
Since then, Siobhan has dedicated part of her time to building the Paper Advocate Platform—a project that brings together her passion for helping people, her knack for simplifying paperwork, and her interest in technology.
Worth Noting
Since becoming a parent herself, Siobhan has gained a real appreciation for the day-to-day realities of raising a young child—the juggling act, the practical challenges, and the experience of solo parenting when her other half is travelling for work. Siobhan has woven these insights into many of the parenting questionnaires, ensuring they reflect real-life experiences and needs.
