Family Law
Helping You Navigate Life’s Changes
Family dynamics can be intricate, and despite everyone’s best efforts, sometimes relationships fail.
Our dedicated Family Law Solicitors will guide you through every phase of your family dispute.
We take the time to truly understand your situation and identify what needs to be done to help you move forward in a constructive way. In all our years of practising family law, none of our clients anticipated facing divorce, arranging childcare, dealing with domestic abuse, or fighting for a fair financial settlement. We understand the challenges you’re facing, and by instructing one of our skilled solicitors, you can rest assured we will handle everything and work relentlessly to protect your and your children’s interests.
We are a diverse, multilingual firm with solicitors who use cutting-edge technology to deliver modern, efficient family law services. With extensive experience from our Nottinghamshire-based offices, we’ve built a solid reputation for excellence, working alongside the UK’s top Barristers, King’s Counsel, Forensic Accountants, Independent Financial Advisers, Surveyors, Actuaries, and Counsellors. These professionals can provide further support to our Family Law Department when necessary. We also have the expertise to instruct some of the most respected expert witnesses in the country.
Our Family Law Approach
Our Family Solicitors are members of Resolution, an organisation committed to non-confrontational resolutions for family law disputes. We adhere to Resolution’s Code of Practice, working to settle matters through negotiation and mediation. However, if court proceedings become unavoidable, rest assured that we will tenaciously pursue the best outcomes for you and your children. Our compassionate and knowledgeable Solicitors receive extensive training on the emotional aspects of family law cases, and we can refer you to support services and counsellors if you’re finding things tough. Our team includes accredited Mediators and members of the Law Society’s Children’s Law Panel, ensuring you have expert support during life’s unexpected changes, helping you achieve the positive outcomes you need.
Family Law FAQs
Below are answers to common questions our family law solicitors receive.
How long does a divorce take?
Under the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020, there is a minimum 20-week waiting period between filing for divorce and obtaining a Conditional Order. Typically, divorces take at least six months, though this may vary depending on whether you and your spouse can amicably agree on financial and childcare arrangements. In high-net-worth divorces or cases involving domestic abuse or disputes about children, the process can take much longer. We are committed to resolving your divorce efficiently but never at the cost of getting the results you desire.
