Family Law

Sadly the breakdown of a family or relationship is an all too common problem and one of the most difficult that you may ever face. Deciding that a relationship has irretrievably broken down and that the only recourse is separation or divorce is a hugely unsettling and upsetting process. Our experts are there to make the process as pain-free as they can, while ensuring that your interests and well-being are carefully considered. We will provide you with a Solicitor who understands your situation and who can provide a high level of service but more importantly give you the support that you need.

Providing legal advice on family matters requires tact and empathy. Our family department takes time and care in dealing with the issues that you may face, discussing your circumstances thoroughly with you before explaining the options available, in the strictest confidence. It is not always necessary to proceed to Court to resolve matters and when appropriate, we will try to help you reach an agreement through discussion and mediation.

Our services include

• Divorce
• Financial matters
• Separation
• Children
• Civil Partnerships
• Cohabitation
• Pre-nuptial agreements

We offer a fixed fee first interview (up to one hour and advice confirmed in writing) for £60.00 inclusive of VAT.
