We recognize that this is one of the most sensitive areas of law, when emotions are fraught, life is at its most difficult, and clear sensible guidance is needed.

We believe that every client is entitled to the best advice for the particular circumstances, and to have that advice given as quickly as possible. To that end we offer an initial interview either free, or at a nominal cost dependant on your financial circumstances and eligibility for public funding (formerly legal aid).

While we would not profess to be miracle workers, there is much that a specialized Family Lawyer can accomplish at these difficult times, both to assist in short term help, and to achieve long term solutions.

Our Family Partner, Alexandra Fowler, is a Member of the Family Law Panel, a body set up by the Law Society to recognize experienced Family Lawyers.

She is also a member of ‘Resolution’, which tries to make family disputes as un-acrimonious as is possible. We will of course 'fight your corner', and the aim is to find a just and fair solution to your problem, as quickly and as painlessly as is possible in all the circumstances of your individual situation.

We can advise on:

• Divorce and Separation.

• Consequential Money matters arising from a family breakdown, be that child maintenance or sorting out the wider picture.

• Child care, because of a breakdown of the family, dealing with both residence and contact issues.

• Child care as a result of the Local Authority intervening in a family's situation.

• Domestic violence and injunctions.

• Cohabitation rights, and separation of cohabiting couples.

• Prenuptial agreements and cohabitation agreements

To discuss matters further please email Alexandra Fowler or call her on 01695 574201.
