Divorce
We provide a confidential environment to help reach the best solution for you and your family, reducing your stress and worry. Divorces are dealt with either ‘Special Procedure’- handled by the courts with no need for the couple to attend, or if the divorce is ‘contested’, the couple will file evidence at court and attend hearings - which can be expensive and stressful. We can advise on the best procedure.

Financial Involvement
Financial Matters on divorce are only settled in court, but vary in degree of involvement and cost.

Children
If you are looking for a solicitor to deal with your family dispute and it centres around your children, then no doubt you will want solicitors you can trust.

Unmarried Couples and Cohabitants
There is no such thing as a ‘common law’ husband or wife. Either you are married where by you will be subject to matrimonial law, or you are not married in which case your rights will generally be more complex being governed by the law of property, Equity and Trusts. We ensure we have up to date expertise in this area, so we can offer the best advice for our clients.

Domestic Violence and Abuse
Unfortunately violence or abuse may be a feature of a relationship breakdown. These situations are likely to result in fear or children being exposed to harmful situations. If you are the victim of violence or you are the perpetrator of violence we can help you with the legal implications of the situation.

Collaborative Law - A New Approach to Family Law
The collaborative law approach is a fundamentally different way of dealing with family disputes. Both parties must appoint collaboratively trained lawyers to work in partnership, without resorting to the court process.
