Family Law Services
People often think of a Family legal team as 'divorce lawyers'. While much of what we do does involve traditional divorce work, we can also help with the following:
Pre-nuptial agreements
Engaged couples can enter into agreements setting out their financial plans in the event of the marriage breaking down. Although these are not legally enforceable at present they can be helpful later on.
Children issues of all types
Including parental contact with children following the breakdown of the parents' relationship.
Cohabitee issues
At the outset of a relationship as a preventive measure or when things go wrong and there is no Cohabitation Contract to provide guidance.
Civil partnerships
We can advise on the equivalent of a 'pre-nuptial agreement' or 'cohabitation agreement' for those embarking on a civil partnership, or help with dissolving the partnership and the division of assets when things go wrong.
Domestic violence
Sometimes people need protection from a partner or family member. The court can make orders for the protection of individuals (often called injunctions).
