Divorce and separation

Dealing with the consequences of matrimonial breakdown, including financial matters and the issue of child residence, can be distressing. Our family law practitioners can be trusted to provide a safe and sympathetic environment where such matters can be addressed sensitively. As a result, most of our divorce or separation cases are settled outside of court.

Childcare arrangements

The breakdown of a marriage is invariably tougher when children are involved, and coming to an agreement that is satisfactory to both parents or guardians whilst serving the needs of the child can prove a serious challenge.

​

If you are struggling in any areas of childcare arrangements and finances, then coming to a formal agreement with the help of a mediator may be the best solution for you, as it will avoid the expense and emotional distress of going to court. No matter the outcome and legal steps involved, our team is always here to provide impartial and expert advice.
