What Types Of Issues Do Family Law Solicitors Near Me Deal With?
Our solicitors provide legal advice to anybody who requires assistance with family law matters whether relating to divorce, separation or children matters, and regularly act for clients of all types, including cohabitees, spouses, civil partners, parents, grandparents and other family members. We practice solely family law, so our experience in the area is wide and varied. Examples of the types of issues we regularly deal with include-
Divorce And Separation
Our solicitors have in-depth knowledge of divorce law and procedure, as well as other forms of separation, such as the dissolution of a civil partnership. We will guide and support you through the process with empathy and understanding, ensuring your interests are fully protected.
Parental Separation
Some of the issues which can arise when parents separate include where the partners’ children will live, financial maintenance and child relocation. We understand that the welfare of the child is paramount and will strive to resolve the issues as quickly and amicably as possible to minimise the impact of your separation.
Prenuptial And Postnuptial Agreements
Prenuptial Agreements and Postnuptial Agreements, more commonly known as ‘Prenups’ and ‘Postnups’, allow couples to decide how their assets should be dealt with in the unhappy event of a relationship breakdown. They are becoming increasingly common in the UK and are of particular use in situations such as where the wealth of one partner significantly outweighs that of the other or to protect the interests of children from previous relationships. Our solicitors have a great deal of experience in preparing these types of agreements and will ensure your position is fully protected.
Cohabitation Agreements
Unmarried couples do not enjoy the same legal rights as married ones or those in civil partnerships. Accordingly, unless you and your partner take steps to document your intentions, you may find yourself in the unhappy position of having no rights over assets you had treated as being jointly owned, such as the family home, if the relationship ends. Cohabitation Agreements offer a straightforward, cost-effective way for a couple to address all pertinent issues relating to their relationship from the outset and minimise the risk of disappointment and conflict later on. Our solicitors regularly work with couples wishing to enter into a Cohabitation Agreement and will prepare an agreement that is legally enforceable and accurately records your intentions.
What Should I Look For When Choosing Solicitors Near Me For Family Law?
Our solicitors understand that many family law cases involve emotional and stressful issues and appreciate that our clients often come to us during very challenging times in their lives. We always take the time to get to know you and understand your individual family circumstances so we can tailor our advice and approach to your bespoke needs. Our advice is concise, straightforward, and delivered in a thoughtful, empathetic way. We will never confuse you with legal jargon but instead ensure you fully understand your legal position and are regularly updated as your matter progresses. Often, clients are anxious to avoid lengthy, drawn-out litigation and are relieved to hear that there are numerous alternatives through which issues can be successfully resolved, which do not necessitate the involvement of the Court. The appropriate method will depend on the circumstances of the case, the issues involved and the outlook of the parties. The Collaborative Family Law Process, Mediation or Arbitration are all methods which are regularly employed by our solicitors and are usually quicker, cheaper and less stressful than litigation.
How Much Do Solicitors For Family Law Near Me Charge?
We understand that legal fees are a cause for concern for many clients. The costs of a matter will depend entirely on the nature of the issues involved in a matter, which may evolve as the case progresses. We will always seek to keep costs to a minimum by adopting the quickest and most cost-effective method of resolution available. We will comprehensively explain our billing processes at the outset and ensure you are kept fully up to date on fees by providing regular estimates and breakdowns. Our solicitors will be on hand to answer any queries regarding fees swiftly and comprehensively.
