Family Solicitors

Life can take some unexpected turns and can often leave us in a situation that we didn’t imagine being in at the time of being unified. Our Family Law services cover everything from separation and financial remedies to making arrangements with children.

Family law is a broad subject, and our expert team of Family Solicitors can talk you through every step of the journey in whichever situation you may find yourself in. In most aspects, we would look to resolve disputes with mediation so that there is no need of going to Court. This is the most cost-effective option and, in most cases, can be highly effective. Our Family Law Solicitors will advise you based on your circumstances whether mediation is appropriate.

Where children are involved, we regularly represent parents who are in dispute over parental responsibility and contact. We can work with you and your ex-partner to make arrangements without court proceedings, but if an agreement cannot be made, we will pursue applying for a Child Arrangement Order.

Additionally, our Family Solicitors are experts when it comes to dealing with victims of domestic violence. We have a track record of legally protecting our clients from abusive partners and supporting them in a way that allows them to start afresh. We work alongside organisations such as Refuge, Yellow Door and Aura New Dawn who support us with the evidence we need to represent our clients.

We also represent clients who are facing challenges with Children’s Social Services. If you have been given a Care Order from a social worker, you must seek legal advice. We have years of experience dealing with social services and have a high success rate of getting children back in the custody of their parents.

You can find out more details on our family law services under ‘Learn more’, or if you’re ready to get started, please call our office telephone, or submit your query online via our online contact form.

We are one of the few law firms on the South Coast that hold a family law legal aid contract. Our Legal Aid Solicitors can work on some family matters providing that you meet the criteria. We will always advise you beforehand whether you are entitled to legal aid based on your enquiry and the assessment of your financial circumstances. However, if you have received a Care Order from Social Services, you will automatically qualify for Legal Aid.
