Partner, Family Law and Divorce Solicitor
You don’t need a Family Law Solicitor to go to the Family Court about your child but it’s always best to get legal advice and support if you can, especially if your case is complicated. There is no substitute for expert legal advice and getting a Family Solicitor to represent you in Family Court will always be better than going into Court alone.
Family Court proceedings can quickly become complicated. And if your ex has a Family Solicitor in Court and you don’t, you might worry that it could put you at a disadvantage. But don’t panic. One of our Family Solicitors can work with you to try and diffuse tension between you and your child’s other parent to sort things out avoid going to Court.

Some of our Lawyers are also accredited by the Law Society for Family Law and for Children Law. We can handle your whole case and represent you in Family Court, or just advise you where you need it.

Over the course of the coronavirus pandemic, online Hearings in family proceedings became the default position. As social distancing and safety restrictions relaxed, more Hearings started taking place face-to-face in Court buildings again, but there’s no doubt that remote Hearings are here to stay as well as the traditional ‘in person’ model.
The process and procedure of ending a civil partnership or same-sex marriage is virtually the same as the divorce process following a heterosexual marriage. In normal circumstances, this is a paper procedure via the Courts, starting with a dissolution or divorce petition.
It is important to understand that if you get married whilst you are still legally married to someone else, you could be committing bigamy by the laws of England and Wales.
Our Family Solicitors and Lawyers charge an hourly rate depending on the experience of the person handling your case. Once we know the details of your case, and how much work is required, we can provide you with a written quote, and we will always be open about our fees.
We’ll work with you to try and reach an agreement before taking the case to Court, as going to Court can be draining both financially and emotionally.
We can help diffuse conflict between you and your ex so that you may be able to come to an agreement through negotiation or Mediation. And if you reach an agreement before going to Court, it will save you the costs of applying for a Court Order.
