When there is a family breakdown there are no winners and losers. The best thing you can do is to search for a fair solution, with the minimum distress to you and your family.

There are many questions to be answered about divorce or separation and arrangements for the future at a traumatic time for the parties involved. We offer sensitive and practical advice and information in complete confidence. We can help with the following issues,

- Are Court proceedings necessary?

- What will I achieve from my divorce?

- What happens to the house?

- What is the likely financial settlement in my                                                   circumstances? Will there be maintenance or orders about pensions?

- Can I get protection from a violent spouse?

- We are not married, what happens to our property?

- We are not married, are there other claims I can make?

- Who looks after the children?

- Can I have regular contact with the children?

- What rights and responsibilities do I have in respect
   of the children?

- What can the Child Support Agency do?

Our experienced family solicitors are accredited family law specialists and members of Resolution (formerly the Solicitors Family Law Association (SFLA)).

We always bear in mind that litigation can be an expensive process, so we provide a tailor made service whereby we carry out as much or as little of the work as you need. We have links with other advisers, for example accountants and barristers, to call on where necessary. Public Funding, the new name for Legal Aid, is available in certain circumstances.
