Family & Matrimonial

More than any other area of law, family and matrimonial disputes are surrounded by profound human emotion. In cases of divorce and relationship breakdown, the associated issues of division of assets and property, and of child care arrangements only serve to amplify the suffering. As members of The Family Law Association we will endeavor to seek resolutions in a conciliatory, non-adversarial manner. We also offer sensitive and practical help on domestic violence issues. However, where recourse is made to the courts, we are dedicated to the successful negotiation of property claims and settlements as well as to other asset division. Particular expertise is brought to the securing of invisible assets such as personal pension plans, insurance policies and other investments. We are also able to advise and negotiate in the area of pre-nuptial and co-habitation agreements, making you fully aware of your rights and obligations and safeguarding your future. At the first meeting a realistic assessment of your situation will be made, and where necessary, clear, advice given on applying for Community Legal Service funding. We will appoint the solicitor who can best represent your interests, and from then on you will receive his or her full attention and support.
