Our Family Law department is here to provide expert guidance with clarity, care, and compassion. We understand that every family is unique, and we tailor our advice to your circumstances, always explained in plain language, never legal jargon, so you can make confident and informed decisions about your future.
Often, family matters such as divorce and separation involve more than just the ending of a relationship. Other important issues may need to be resolved, including:
• Children and Parenting Arrangements – Making decisions about where children will live, how much time they spend with each parent, and ensuring their needs and wellbeing remain the priority.
• Financial Matters – Reaching a fair and practical settlement on property, savings, pensions, debts, and ongoing financial support.
• The Family Home – Protecting your interest in the home, whether it is owned jointly or in one partner’s sole name.
• Future Planning – Putting agreements in place, such as parental responsibility orders or co-parenting arrangements, to give certainty and stability moving forward.

Your children’s wellbeing is always our priority. We help with children’s matters including:
– Deciding where children will live and how much time they spend with each parent.
– Parental responsibility agreements to clarify legal rights and responsibilities.
– Grandparents’ rights, ensuring valuable family relationships are maintained.
Usually by negotiation or mediation. If agreed, terms should be recorded in a Financial Remedy Order. Court is the last resort.
Parental responsibility means you are legally recognised as your child’s parent and have a say in major decisions about their welfare, such as medical treatment, education, religion, and travel abroad.
If you do not live with your child but have parental responsibility, the other parent must involve you in important decisions. Joint decision-making and open communication are usually best for children’s wellbeing.
If you’re having difficulties with arrangements after separation, contact us for advice.
