Separation and divorce pose difficult problems especially if children are involved or there is a dispute over property or finance.
Our solicitors seek to give practical advice and to resolve problems without litigation, if at all possible, because this is likely to be quicker, less expensive and less disruptive for you and your children.
This department subscribes to the code of practice of the Solicitors Family Law Association.
