Divorce and Separation Services

We handle divorce proceedings and civil partnership dissolution with expertise and sensitivity.

We assist with child arrangement orders that prioritise your children’s welfare, advise on parental responsibility rights and obligations, and handle urgent international child abduction cases. Our team provides comprehensive support for adoption proceedings, represents clients in care proceedings, and resolves child relocation and holiday disputes. We also offer specialist support for parents dealing with parental alienation, understanding the complex emotional dynamics involved.

Alternative Dispute Resolution

We believe in resolving family disputes constructively wherever possible. Our services include family mediation with our accredited mediator, collaborative law approaches for amicable solutions, and Resolution Together-trained expertise for couples seeking efficient resolution.

Financial Provision

Our financial services encompass child maintenance calculations and agreements, additional financial orders for school fees and medical costs, and comprehensive prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. We also prepare cohabitation agreements for unmarried couples, ensuring financial protection regardless of relationship status.

Specialist Services

We provide domestic violence protection and injunctions for those in vulnerable situations, same-sex family legal services addressing unique legal considerations, and surrogacy and fertility law advice for modern families. Additionally, we can advise on care proceedings, ensuring access to justice when families need it most.

Our Process

As experienced family lawyers, we follow a structured approach to ensure you receive the best possible outcome:

1. Initial Consultation – We arrange a comprehensive consultation to understand your situation, explain your legal options, and discuss the most appropriate strategy for your case. This typically takes 1-2 hours and can be conducted in person at our Nottingham office, by phone, or via video call for your convenience.
2. Strategic Planning – Our team develops a tailored legal strategy based on your priorities, whether that’s achieving a quick resolution through negotiation or preparing for court proceedings at Nottingham Family Court. We’ll outline realistic timescales and potential costs.
3. Implementation and Negotiation – We begin working on your case, whether through direct negotiation, mediation, or formal court proceedings. We keep you informed at every stage and ensure you understand all developments, with regular updates provided to West Bridgford clients.
4. Resolution and Follow-up – Once we’ve achieved your desired outcome, we ensure all legal documents are properly executed and provide ongoing support for any future issues that may arise.

Please note that we can only advise on a Legal Aid basis for public law/care proceedings.
