Our Family Law Services
We advise on a full range of family law matters, including complex, contested, and urgent cases. Each case is handled with professionalism, care, and attention to detail.
Divorce and Separation
We assist with divorce proceedings, legal separation, and issues involving financial and property arrangements. We will guide you through the process from start to finish, making sure your legal position is protected and all paperwork is handled correctly.
Child Arrangements
If you are dealing with issues around where your child will live, who they will spend time with, or how decisions are made, we provide legal advice that is practical and child-focused. We support parents with applications for contact, residence, prohibited steps orders, and specific issues.
Domestic Abuse and Protection Orders
If you are experiencing threats, harassment, or violence from a partner or family member, we can act quickly to help you secure protection. We advise on non-molestation and occupation orders and act in urgent situations where your safety or your children's safety is at risk.
Financial Settlements
We advise on the fair division of assets following separation or divorce. This includes property, pensions, savings, business interests, and ongoing support. We help you reach an agreement through negotiation or, if needed, represent you in court.
Social Services and Care Proceedings
If social services have become involved with your children, we can advise you on your rights, help you respond to assessments, and represent you in care proceedings. We understand how serious these matters are and respond with care and urgency.
Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
We prepare agreements to protect finances and clarify expectations before or after marriage. These documents must meet legal standards to be valid. We will draft or review the agreement with care and explain its legal effect.

Frequently asked question
Since the introduction of no-fault divorce, you no longer need to prove unreasonable behaviour or separation. One party simply needs to confirm the marriage has irretrievably broken down. You must have been married for at least one year before applying.
Most divorces take between six and eight months. This can vary depending on whether financial or child arrangements are also being dealt with. We manage the process from start to finish and keep you informed throughout.
A non-molestation order protects you from harassment, threats, or violence by someone you are connected to. It can be applied for urgently, often without the other person being told in advance. We act quickly and prepare all necessary documents.
If you believe your child may be taken abroad without your consent, we can help you apply for a prohibited steps order. This prevents the other parent from removing the child from the country without permission. We act urgently in such cases.
No. Many child arrangements can be agreed through negotiation or mediation. If agreement is not possible, a court application may be needed. We will advise on the best route based on your situation and your child’s welfare.
There is no fixed formula. The court looks at fairness, needs, and contributions. This includes property, pensions, savings, and income. We will advise on what may be realistic in your case and help you reach an agreement or prepare for court.
If social services raise concerns about a child's safety or well-being, they may start assessments or issue court proceedings. You have the right to legal advice and representation throughout the process. We will explain your rights and help you respond clearly and effectively.
A solicitor is not legally required, but legal advice is strongly recommended. For a prenuptial agreement to be recognised by the court, both parties should understand the agreement and enter into it freely with full disclosure. We prepare valid, enforceable documents that reflect your needs and intentions.
