Family law

Our team of specialist family solicitors can help in a range of situations, including:

Relationship breakdown

• Divorce and civil partnership dissolution – we’ll guide you through the legal process in obtaining a divorce in the most stress-free manner.
• Financial settlement – we will represent you in achieving the fairest financial settlement following your divorce, whether that be through consent or court proceedings.
• Separation agreements – if you’re separated but aren’t ready or don’t want to divorce, we can help draft a separation agreement.

Unmarried couples

• Cohabitation – there’s no such thing as a “common law marriage”. If you’re unmarried and living together or planning to do so, we can draft a cohabitation agreement to protect you if your relationship breaks down.
• Pre-nuptial agreements – if you’re planning to get married but want to agree beforehand how your property and financial assets would be split if you were to divorce.
• New relationships – we can help you protect your children’s inheritance.

Children

• Child arrangements – we can negotiate arrangements such as the time children spend with each parent to where they go to school.
• Grandparents’ rights – we can assist grandparents in securing contact with a grandchild.
• Child abduction or relocation – if your former partner has taken your child, we could help you get them back. If you or your former partner wants to move to another country with your children, we can assist.
• Adoption – assist you through the process and handle all of the legal aspect of adoption a child

Injunctions

• Non-molestation and Occupation orders when you need protection from an abusive partner

We’ll work hard to get the best possible outcome for you and your family.

Where appropriate, we always recommend mediation or other forms of dispute resolution. We can recommend you to mediation services as part of our initial consultation. If negotiations do break down and your matter does go to court, you’ll have our full support at every stage.
