Our family law services

Divorce

Our family law solicitors understand that divorce can be an emotionally challenging time. We provide clear, practical advice to help you navigate the process with confidence.

Whether through negotiation or court proceedings, we aim to achieve a fair outcome while minimising stress and uncertainty for you and your family.

We will take the time to understand your priorities and will guide you step-by-step through the legal stages, ensuring you feel informed and supported at every stage.

Divorce Financial Settlements

Reaching a fair financial settlement is a key part of divorce. Our solicitors will guide you through every stage, helping to protect your assets and financial security.

We will explain your rights clearly, explore suitable options, and work towards a resolution that provides long-term stability and peace of mind.

Whether your finances are straightforward or complex, we work carefully to ensure any agreement is both fair and sustainable.

Child Law

When legal issues involve children, sensitivity and understanding are vital. Our family law team advises on all aspects of child law, including parental responsibility, residence, and contact arrangements.

We focus on solutions that promote your child’s welfare and maintain positive relationships wherever possible.

We explain each step clearly and work constructively to reduce conflict and keep your child’s needs at the centre of decision-making.

Child Arrangements

Discussions about where a child lives or spends time can be complex. Our child arrangement solicitors provide calm, practical guidance to help you reach agreements that reflect your child’s best interests.

We aim to resolve matters through constructive discussion, reducing conflict and encouraging long-term cooperation between parents.

Where court involvement becomes necessary, we provide clear advice and sensitive support throughout the process.

Adoption is a significant and life-changing decision. Our solicitors offer clear advice and compassionate support throughout the process, ensuring all legal requirements are met.

We work carefully to protect the welfare of the child and to make the adoption journey as smooth and positive as possible.

We understand the significance of deciding to adopt and will guide you through each stage with clarity and reassurance.

Prohibited Steps Order

A prohibited steps order prevents certain actions regarding a child, such as relocation or school changes, without court consent.

We can guide you through the application or response process, helping you safeguard your child’s wellbeing and ensuring decisions are made in their best interests.

Our team will explain how these orders work and provide practical support to help you reach a safe and appropriate resolution.

Specific Issue Order

Where parents cannot agree on key decisions, such as schooling, medical care or religion, a specific issue order can provide clarity.

Our solicitors will explain the legal process, prepare your application and represent your interests to achieve a resolution that supports your child’s welfare.

We aim to help parents reach balanced decisions that promote stability and minimise conflict.

Child Relocation

Relocating with a child, whether within the UK or abroad, requires careful legal consideration.

We provide clear advice on your rights and responsibilities, ensuring any move complies with legal requirements while prioritising your child’s wellbeing.

We will work with you to explore practical options that maintain important family relationships and reduce potential disputes.

Parental Responsibility

Parental responsibility gives parents legal rights and duties over their child’s upbringing. We can help you understand your position, apply for parental responsibility where appropriate, or respond to an application.

Our focus is always on achieving outcomes that promote your child’s welfare and stability.
We provide balanced, practical guidance to support positive co-parenting arrangements.

Financial Provisions for Children

Ensuring children are financially supported is a priority following separation. Our solicitors advise on child maintenance and related financial arrangements, helping you secure fair and practical solutions that meet your child’s needs now and in the future.

We will explain the available routes clearly and guide you through negotiations or applications with sensitivity and care.

Civil Partnership Dissolution

Ending a civil partnership can be emotionally difficult. Our experienced family solicitors provide clear guidance throughout the dissolution process, including financial and child-related matters.

We aim to resolve issues efficiently and sensitively, helping you move forward with confidence and clarity.

We offer steady, reassuring support to reduce uncertainty and help you plan for the future.

Unmarried Couples

Unmarried partners do not share the same legal rights as married couples. We can advise you on your position in areas such as property, finances and children, helping you understand your options and protect your interests should your relationship end.

We can offer clear, practical guidance to help you make informed decisions about your future.

Cohabitation

Cohabiting couples can benefit from clear legal agreements that outline financial and living arrangements.

Our solicitors prepare tailored cohabitation agreements to prevent disputes and provide peace of mind.

Prenuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement allows couples to set out how assets will be divided if they separate.

Our solicitors draft clear and fair agreements that reflect your wishes, protect your interests and offer reassurance before marriage or a civil partnership.

Postnuptial Agreements

A postnuptial agreement provides the opportunity to clarify financial arrangements after marriage.

We offer practical advice and prepare tailored agreements designed to promote transparency, reduce future conflict and provide certainty for both parties.

Our focus is on creating fair and balanced documents that reflect your circumstances.
