Family

We understand how difficult it can be when a marriage or relationship breaks down. Resolving family issues in a way that works for all parties often requires real sensitivity. We place a huge importance on the personal touch. We listen carefully before giving you all the time and information you need to understand your case and the legal issues arising from it.

Our established family team offers expert advice for every situation. We ensure that you always deal with the same person and we always treat your case with personal care. Our team is also committed to Resolution, a body which encourages sensitive handling and open communication when a relationship breaks down. Two of our family solicitors are Resolution accredited specialists. We are also one of only a small number of firms committed to the collaborative law process. We have a good track record of resolving disputes respectfully without going to court.

We offer expert help with:

  • Divorce & separation agreements
  • Civil partnership disputes
  • Pre-nuptial agreements
  • Domestic abuse issues
  • Child disputes
  • Children & social services
  • Cohabitation issues

As always, we’re happy to offer a free 30 minute consultation. We also provide fixed price packages for many of our services so you understand fully the costs involved from the outset. Legal Aid is also available for family matters, subject to eligibility.
