When I started on the process of divorce after a long marriage I was given 2 bits of very valuable advice. The first was the importance of having a strong team of people around you including friends, family as well as the range of professionals that you also need. The second piece of advice was to go and see James Belderbos. James has provided me with excellent guidance, he listened to what I wanted and then gave me reasonable and realistic, sometimes hard to swallow but always well thought out and above all honest information and help. I truly believe that James cares about his clients and as a result, I believe that I arrived at the best outcome for all parties. Mr W, Leicestershire
What Issues Do Divorce Solicitors Near Me Deal With?
The issues that can arise in a divorce, civil partnership dissolution or other types of separation are wide and varied. As a specialist family law firm, we have expertise in all aspects of divorce and separation and regularly advise clients needing help with matters including:
Divorce Process And Procedure
Every method of separation is governed by strict procedures and time limits, which must be properly followed and adhered to. The process can appear confusing and arduous, but our divorce solicitors will comprehensively explain each step, ensuring you fully understand its purpose and effects. We will never confuse you with legal jargon but instead, provide concise advice in plain English with a view to simplifying and demystifying the procedure.
Financial Settlements
The division of a couple’s assets can be one of the most acrimonious elements of a separation. Whilst keen to safeguard their interests, most clients are also anxious to avoid the stress and expense of litigation insofar as possible. Our divorce solicitors always seek to use the least adversarial method of resolving the financial aspects of a divorce appropriate in the circumstances. We strongly believe that Court proceedings should only be used as a means of last resort, and we routinely employ alternative methods of resolution, including the collaborate family law process and mediation. Such methods are usually quicker, cheaper and less stressful than litigation, and allow the parties the flexibility to settle on terms that suit their circumstances, free from the confines of the law.
Parental Separation
The stress and emotional toll of a relationship breakdown can be significantly intensified when children are involved. Issues regularly arise involving where those children will live, access arrangements, maintenance and relocation. Our divorce solicitors understand that the welfare of their children will be at the forefront of most parents’ minds, and our advice is always focused on their best interests. We have a wealth of experience in all issues arising from parental separation and will guide you through the process sensitively and with compassion, working tirelessly to ensure your interests, and those of your children, are fully protected.
It is often not their parents’ separation that can negatively impact a child, but rather any ongoing animosity. As such, it is even more crucial that the couple and their legal advisors dispose of the issues between them in the quickest, most amicable way possible. By minimising the disruption caused by any legal dispute, we hope to lessen its impact on your children and allow you and your ex-partner to move forward and concentrate on their well-being.
