How do deal with the finances is a common question that comes up in many areas of family law. Whether they are simple or complex, our firm is prepared to help you navigate the situation.
In cases of divorce or civil partnership dissolution, there may be claims of spousal maintenance (commonly known as spousal support). Whether you are requesting spousal maintenance or being asked for it, our solicitors can advocate for a fair decision.
Consent orders are when you and the opposing party make an agreement, and you need the court to make it legally binding. Our firm can help draft and negotiate consent orders as well as presenting them to the court.
Non-molestation orders offer protection from domestic abuse. Restraining orders are used in criminal law, but non-molestation orders are the family law equivalent. We can help you file for or defend against a non-molestation order.

Child maintenance, commonly called child support, is financial support that a parent must pay to support their children if the children are not residing with them.
Child arrangements orders, commonly called child custody, are used to determine which parent or adult the child lives with. These orders can also address other decisions about the child’s life. If you need a child arrangements order, our solicitors can help.
