Family Law

People coping with the stress and trauma of divorce and separation need particularly sensitive and empathetic legal advisors. We give support and careful and comprehensive legal advice on these matters. We try to encourage couples to settle their differences in the most constructive way possible and with particular regard to the future of any children in the family.

We aim to settle matters without the need for lengthy court hearings, although sometimes these cannot be avoided.

We no longer take cases that are publicly funded, but we are always happy to give you preliminary advice, and assess whether you are eligible for public funding. Thereafter you can decide to continue with us or instruct another firm.

Most commonly we advise in the following areas:

• Separation
• Divorce
• Children
• Financial settlements – the division of property after divorce or separation
• Civil partnerships and co-habitation
