Practice Area
Family Law
Calm, practical advice at a difficult time — on separation, finances, and arrangements for your children.
Overview
Family matters are personal before they are legal. We take time to understand what matters most to you, then set out the realistic outcomes rather than the ones that sound best.
Wherever possible we resolve matters by negotiation or mediation, which is usually faster, cheaper and far less damaging to family relationships. Where agreement is not possible, we are ready to take the matter to court.
We also advise on protective steps where there is abuse or a risk of a child being removed, and can act urgently when needed.
Matters we handle
- Divorce and dissolution of civil partnerships
- Financial settlements and consent orders
- Child arrangements orders
- Specific issue and prohibited steps orders
- Cohabitation and separation agreements
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
- Non-molestation and occupation orders
- Child maintenance disputes
- Disputes over the family home
- International and relocation matters
