Our specialist divorce solicitors guide clients through the complete divorce process from initial petition to final settlement. We handle uncontested divorces from 1256.90 and complex contested cases with international elements. Our team helps clients understand their rights regarding asset division, child arrangements, and financial obligations while prioritising amicable resolutions to minimise emotional distress.
Child Custody
We specialise in creating child custody agreements that prioritise the child's best interests. Our services include negotiating contact arrangements, preparing child arrangement orders, and representing clients in disputes over residence and visitation rights. We handle complex cases involving international relocation and special needs requirements while maintaining focus on the child's emotional wellbeing throughout the legal process.
Financial Settlements
Our financial settlement experts handle property division and spousal maintenance negotiations during divorce proceedings. We specialise in complex cases involving business assets, pensions, and high-net-worth individuals. With experience in both negotiated settlements and court proceedings, we ensure fair distribution of assets while protecting clients' long-term financial security through comprehensive post-divorce financial planning.
