Divorce and Family Matters
Divorce and separation is emotive and requires to be handled both sensitively and professionally. We have many years of experience in dealing with such matters and can provide practical as well as legal advice on the best way to resolve family conflicts. We try to avoid court proceedings whenever possible with references to mediation at an appropriate stage and in order to save you both emotional and financial expense.
Following the pre-action family protocol we seek to achieve consensual settlement of property and financial claims while protecting our client’s interests throughout.
Co-habitation and pre-nuptial agreements are becoming more common and are a practical way of addressing issues which may arise in the future. Such agreements are not divisive: they can save a lot of heartache and expense at a later date.
Where children are concerned their interests are to the fore and we can advise and act for you in a wide range of family matters be it contact, residence or maintenance.
We have an excellent working relationship with a number of specialist family Barristers’ Chambers from whom we can obtain second opinions as may be required and ensure you have the most cost effective representation should Court proceedings issue.
