Dealing with the breakdown of a relationship or the removal of children by the Local Authority can be one of the most traumatic periods of anyone's life. Our private law and child care teams have many years of experience in assisting clients in these situations. They advise and represent clients in all types of family matters including divorce, co-habitee disputes, children and financial disputes.
For clients facing or contemplating a separation, whether married or not, they are naturally concerned about their current financial and property arrangements and how it will affect any children they may have.
For clients suffering from domestic violence we can offer a swift service obtaining Court orders to protect the client and any children and to enable them to live safely in the family home while matters are dealt with.
We are used to advising clients in difficult emotional situations. We aim to provide sympathetic personal advice tailored to your individual circumstances and requirements. We offer prompt and practical advice on how to cope with problems and resolve them.
We will refer clients to Mediation services or Relate where this seems appropriate.
Solving family law problems often involves many other aspects of the law. Our Family Team can call on the expertise of other departments within the firm whenever necessary to advise, for example, on company law and tax and trust issues, making a will or remortgaging a property so that it does not have to be sold.
Our Family Team has considerable experience in advising and representing clients from all backgrounds with all types of problems and disputes: whether a high net worth client or the victim of domestic abuse our aim is to help you through this difficult time as effectively as possible.
Members of the team are members of, 'Resolution' (formerly the Solicitors Family Law Association) and the Law Society’s Children Panel.
We have also prepared 2 guides to help you through the breakdown of a relationship, What do I Need to Think About and What Information do I Need to Give My Solicitor?
