Our Family Law Services
No-fault divorce, financial settlements and the clean break that actually closes the claims.
Living and contact arrangements — what people still call custody — agreed where possible, ordered where not.
The same rigour as divorce — process, finances and children — for civil partners.
Non-molestation and occupation orders — same-day where needed — with legal aid where you qualify.
Complex assets, prenups, trusts and international wealth — handled with discretion.
We also draft prenuptial and cohabitation agreements, advise on mediation, and handle financial orders after overseas divorces.
How We Approach Family Work
Two convictions shape this practice. First, conflict is a cost — measured in money, months and children's wellbeing — so we resolve by agreement, mediation and negotiation wherever the facts allow, and litigate properly when they don't. Second, family problems rarely stay in one lane: money, property, visas and safety interweave, and having immigration, property and tax specialists in the same firm changes what we can see and solve.
Whatever brings you here, the first conversation gives you the honest picture: where you stand, what outcomes are realistic, and what it will cost to get there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which service do I need?
Describe what's happening and we'll route it: endings under divorce or dissolution, children under child arrangements, safety under domestic abuse protection, and wealth under HNW family law. Most real situations touch several at once — which is why one team runs all of them.
Do we have to go to court?
Usually not. Most divorces, financial settlements and children's arrangements resolve by negotiation, mediation or consent orders — court is the backstop for urgency, safety and genuine impasse. Courts themselves expect agreement to be attempted first in most children and money cases; we're built around that expectation.
How much does family law advice cost?
It depends on conflict more than complexity: agreed processes run on fixed fees quoted up front, contested ones are costed openly stage by stage, and legal aid remains available for domestic abuse cases where you qualify. Our fees page sets out the structures — and keeping your costs proportionate is part of the strategy, not a footnote.
Tell us what's happening, in confidence. We'll give you the honest picture — options, outcomes and costs — before you commit to anything.
