Divorce and separation

The consequences of the breakdown of a marriage or relationship can be devastating for everyone involved.  Inevitably, many difficult and emotive issues arise including:

• What happens to our children?
• What happens to our house?
• What happens to my business?
• How do we sort out our pensions?
• What happens to our life policies?
• How will I be able to manage?
• Am I entitled to a divorce?
• Who pays for all of this?

Our experienced specialists can guide you sensitively but effectively through the many difficulties that arise following a breakdown in your marriage or relationship.

Here’s how we can help

We recognise that divorce or separation is an emotional experience. We’ll try and make things as easy as possible for you and your family, working with the utmost tact and sensitivity. We’ll strive to resolve disputes quickly and effectively and to make sure that costs are not unreasonably incurred.

We tend to specialise in servicing the needs of high net worth individuals and the business community. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept instructions under the Community Legal Fund/Legal Aid Scheme.
