When the relationship with your partner comes to an end, it is difficult to know when is the best time to involve a solicitor. In our experience, the sooner we can advise you, the more help we can be. Whether you are married or living together, it is important that you know where you stand legally
and get practical advice from an
experienced solicitor.

At the first meeting, we will explain the legal options available to you and what you should do immediately including, if you wish, the opportunities for reconciliation. However, if you or your children are being abused or your family assets are being misused, we will take court action to stop it immediately. We can also help you to find a place of safety, if it is necessary.

Our aim is to keep the tension, stress and cost to a minimum whilst making sure that you and your children are treated fairly and your future is made secure as it can be. If we think that mediation will be constructive, we will describe what is involved and support you throughout the procedure. However, if court proceedings are necessary, we have the experience and resources to advise and represent you through all the stages.
