FAMILY LAW

Everyone knows that what happens in our families is the most important part of life, which is why it has to be handled with special care, and never taken for granted. We are members of the Solicitors Family Law Association, which promotes good practice in this field.

WHAT IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG?
Sometimes, although everyone has tried hard, families don't work together, and something has to be done to make it possible for all the people involved to live in a different way, often apart. Each of them has to be protected, and a lawyer can help. We offer you a personal service in what are always very personal matters.

DO WE HAVE TO FIGHT?
No. These days we all look for discussion and agreement, because that is more likely to produce lasting results. We know that what can be discussed and agreed has the best chance of being successfully resolved. We are committed to seeking agreement on behalf of our clients, rather than looking for confirmation.

BUT IF WE CAN'T AGREE?
Unfortunately, people sometimes make unreasonable demands. When necessary, we will protect your interests, continue to look for agreement, keep the discussion as amicable as possible, gather the best available information, discuss realistic proposals, but, if necessary, present the case to the Court as fully as possible.

I'D LIKE TO TALK...
We maintain a specialist family law department, with the work carried out by an experienced solicitor and a legal executive working closely with a partner. You can have good access to a lawyer who really knows your file, whether it is about the children, the home, or the finances. You may find it useful to call the Divorce Helpline.

WHAT WILL IT COST?
We can quote fixed fees for divorce themselves, but beyond that, no two family cases are the same so fees are generally related to time spent. In all cases we will make the best use of your time and money, and keep you informed about your case.
