Family, Divorce and Children, and Mental Health
It is an unfortunate fact of life that not all marriages are successful, and if your relationship breaks down we can help guide you through what is often a difficult time.
A fair division of assets - including the family home - must be worked out. In the majority of cases this is achieved by negotiation between solicitors and agreement between the parties concerned, but if necessary we can help you through the Court process.
If there are children involved, we can advise you about residence (formerly called 'custody'), contact ('access') and financial provision.. We are members of the Child Care Panel, and we are very experienced in representing both parents and children who are involved in care proceedings before the Courts.
If you have been detained under the Mental Health Act, we can represent you before Mental Health Appeal Tribunals and we can advise on Mental Health issues if you or a family member are an informal patient.
