Considering Divorce or Separation

The breakdown of a marriage and decision to divorce is stressful and will affect people in different ways. Our experienced family lawyers provide sympathetic advice and will guide and support you through the legal and practical considerations. We will listen and discuss the options open to you, working alongside you to minimise the distress the end of a relationship can bring. 

Our experienced team understand the fundamental importance of thinking about the children in a divorce. We provide a number of free resources on this site and have an extensive network of professionals who we can work alongside to ensure your children’s best interests are at the forefront of decision making.

We have considerable experience representing clients in court room litigation; but we are equally comfortable assisting clients ‘behind the scenes’, whether they are seeking to agree matters directly with their former partner or representing themselves in court.

We have equal expertise in litigation and in non-court methods of resolving a divorce, including mediation and use of the “private system”, be it private hearings or arbitration. 

We tailor our approach to you and your priorities and we will make sure you are fully supported both through the process and after it. We will spend time understanding your goals and priorities so that we can achieve the best outcome for you and your family.
