Relationship breakdown support

- Unmarried couples’ rights
- Financial arrangements.
- Domestic abuse.
- Non-molestation or occupation orders.

Navigating the end of a relationship can be one of the most emotionally and legally challenging experiences in life. Making the decision to separate or divorce is deeply personal and rarely straightforward.
We understand the emotional weight of these decisions, so whether you’re ready to proceed or simply seeking clarity, we’re here to support you without judgment. In today’s globalised world, many relationships also involve international elements, and our team has particular expertise in cross-border issues, ensuring your legal position is protected both in the UK and across international jurisdictions.
Money
Financial arrangements are often the most complex and sensitive aspect of a relationship breakdown.
Our expertise covers:
- Financial settlements.
- Court disputes
- Business interests
- Tracing hidden assets
- High net worth cases
- Mental capacity issues
- Division of overseas assets
Divorce and separation can involve shared assets, property, investments, pensions and business interests, requiring expertise in family, property, and company law to ensure your financial settlement is fair and focused on your future needs.
Children
- Custody and access arrangements.
- Domestic and international relocation.
- Adoption and surrogacy.
- Child abduction.
- Grandparents’ rights.
- Child maintenance and financial support
Matters involving children demand both legal expertise and compassionate understanding. Our specialist team provides sensitive strategic advice on a wide range of child-related issues.
We work closely with families to prioritise the best interests of the child, while helping parents and guardians reach practical, long term solutions.
Agreements
We provide expert legal support in preparing and advising on a range of family law agreements, including:
- Pre-and post-nuptial agreements.
- Civil partnership agreements.
- Cohabitation agreements.
- Family trusts
These agreements help clarify how assets, property and finances will be managed during a relationship, can provide additional security for unmarried couples or also be effective in the event of a separation, offering peace of mind and reducing potential disputes.
Additional Support Services
Beyond our core family law services, we offer a range of support to ensure clients have access to the right advice, at the right time.
-
Second opinions
If you are representing yourself or already have legal representation, we can provide a clear second opinion to give you confidence and clarity about your options.
-
Court Order Advice
We advise on the variation, enforcement, or discharge of existing court orders to ensure that arrangements remain fair, legally compliant and reflect any changes in your circumstances.
-
Dispute Resolution
Where appropriate, we help clients resolve disputes outside of court through arbitration or mediation. If court proceedings are necessary, we can provide representation throughout the whole process.
We understand the emotional weight of family matters. Our role is to guide you with care, resolve issues with clarity and secure outcomes you can build on, protecting your future every step of the way. Working with us you will understand the law, your options and have the confidence to take control.
Legal Costs
Having to fund legal fees can be a worry and add to the pressure at an already stressful time. Accessing funds for legal fees may be difficult if assets are tied up or income streams are for whatever reason inaccessible.
