Family Law.

Whenever possible we will find ways to resolve
differences amicably.

Family Law & Divorce.

Separation and divorce is an emotionally traumatic time, which we can help you through by providing friendly, expert advice.

We are longstanding members of Resolution, the association of Family Lawyers who are committed to resolving family breakdown and disputes by negotiation and only going to Court when necessary. To find out more please go to www.resolution.org.uk

We can guide you through the divorce process from start to finish and negotiate on your behalf in relation to your children, finances or property. Whenever possible, we shall find ways to resolve any differences with your spouse amicably and without resorting to the courts. If court proceedings cannot be avoided we will represent your interest assertively whilst still encouraging ways to find a negotiated settlement.

What we cover.

We provide advice and representation on a range of family matters including:

  • Mediation
  • Domestic Violence
  • Injunctions
  • Divorce
  • Pre-nuptial Agreements
  • Separation Agreements
  • Finances and Property on divorce and break up of a civil partnership
  • Cohabitee and Joint Property Disputes
  • Children (Child Arrangement Orders for Residence and Contact)
  • Adoption
  • Representation in Care Proceedings

What is Mediation?

Mediation is not marriage guidance. It can help people who are separating or divorcing. Mediation is a way for you to negotiate directly with your spouse or partner in a neutral place with a trained mediator to act a referee, but not as a judge.
