Divorce and Relationship Breakdown

The breakdown of a marriage or relationship is never easy and can be a difficult and emotional time for all involved.

We understand the impact that divorce and legal separation can have on families, particularly children, and our family law solicitors can assist you in considering all of your options from an informed perspective. 

When a marriage breaks down, there are often three main issues to deal with as part of the UK divorce process: 

• The formal dissolution of the marriage, more commonly known as divorce 

• The financial implications of the divorce or legal separation  

• Arrangements for children, in terms of child custody – for example, who children should live with and how often should children spend time with each parent 

If you have been served with a divorce application or are considering whether to apply for divorce, you should seek expert family law advice at the earliest opportunity. Our divorce solicitors can help you manage this difficult process in the best way possible for your circumstances. 

Regardless of whether you decide to take further action, meeting with a family lawyer can help you understand your position and make informed decisions.
