Resolving your relationship issues
If you are having issues with your partner, we know that this is a difficult and emotional time at which you will need prompt, expert guidance and support from an experienced team of divorce solicitors.
How our divorce solicitors can help
At Nelsons, we have one of the largest team of specialist family solicitors in Derby, Leicester and Nottingham. Our experience ensures that we will give you expert advice about your circumstances, as well as supporting you throughout the divorce process.
We offer legal help and advice on the full range of relationship issues, including:
- Divorce and separation
- Civil partnership dissolution
- Domestic violence
- Living together issues
- Pre and post-nuptial agreements
- Separation agreements
- International and expat divorces
- Financial settlements
Our approach
Our divorce solicitors are able to offer a range of innovative fixed fee services to provide choices according to what you can afford and how much support you would like. During your divorce, the team will provide you with advice regarding your options to find the best outcome for you and your family.
As the emotions of getting divorce can often run high, we will always recommend using Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods, such as collaborative law or mediation, to reach an amicable solution to the issues that are relevant to your separation without the need of going to Court. ADR enables the key aspects of divorce, including arrangements regarding children and finances, to be discussed at face to face meetings in a calm and constructive way. However, should Court action be required, our team are able to support you throughout the proceedings.
As well as helping married couples and civil partners, we also provide services to unmarried couples – whether handling a break-up or planning in case you should go your separate ways in the future.
Our expert team of family solicitors includes:
- Resolution Accredited Specialists
- Law Society Family Panel & Advanced Family Panel members
- Law Society Children Panel Members
Our expertise in family law is also recognised by the independent directories, The Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners.
