Family Law
Unfortunately, it is a fact that as many as one in three marriages ends in divorce or separation. In addition, many who co-habit find their relationships breaking down.
We can advise on all possible problems arising out of such unfortunate circumstances and whilst giving sympathetic attention to each case, ensure that essential practical advice is given on all occasions. Whether it is the welfare of children, maintenance, disputes relating to the matrimonial home, we can help resolve matters. Furthermore, if there is any harassment, threats of violence or unsociable behaviour, we can advise on the appropriate remedies.
Children and Child Care Law
We always try to bear in mind the best interests of the children as well as the adult client and we can advise both parents about how best to deal with such difficulties.
We will also act on behalf of parents who wish to challenge local authority decisions and put forward their own views on the child's future. This may involve court hearings which can be very difficult and traumatic. We will provide expert, sympathetic and supportive action throughout and detailed attention to their case, however short or lengthy it may be.
