Family

People do not like going to see solicitors about divorce, thinking it is as bad as or even
worse than going to the dentist! To help you get the feel of “being comfortable” with
us the first 40 minutes of your first interview is free of charge.

We are aware that seeking legal advice is nearly always the last resort and that you
will need sensitive but firm advice and guidance. Our service is aimed at protecting
your interests and is particularly sensitive to the needs of children. All Solicitors in the
Family Department are members of Resolution, the Family Law specialist group.

Our services include...

  Family Mediation
  Divorce and separation
  Financial Provision generally but with particular reference to assets acquired before marriage during the marriage and post separation: the relevance of business assets and whether a case involves maintenance or a “clean break”
  Children issues including Protection, Support, Contact, Adoption, Abduction
and Care Proceedings
  Dissolution of Civil Partnerships
