The Financial Aspects

Our solicitors will give you the best advice to ensure that your divorce and any financial settlements are sorted out smoothly, including the preparation of Consent Orders.  This may sometimes involve taking things like inheritance, wills, assets such as savings or property and family businesses into consideration. Our family law solicitors are highly experienced in dealing with financial proceedings which run alongside divorce proceedings.

Where Children Are Concerned

Areas of family law which need to be dealt with in a particularly efficient and compassionate way are those where children are involved.  All of our lawyers are sensitive and caring in such matters and will strive to help secure the emotional and financial welfare of all children concerned. This is true in cases pertaining to things like child residency, contact, parental responsibility, financial support and sometimes education and change of name.

As family law can be stressful and difficult for all parties our solicitors may advise you to go down the route of an amicable settlement where appropriate i.e. family mediation – this can work really effectively for some families as it can eliminate the need for lengthy court proceedings and hefty legal costs.
