Harpenden, Luton, Milton Keynes and Northampton
It is an unfortunate fact of life that not all relationships are successful. We understand the emotional and financial impact when a family breaks up and we can help. We have lawyers specialising solely in divorce and family law in our offices in Harpenden, Luton, Milton Keynes and Northampton (Grange Park).
It is important for you to know your legal position at an early stage, so you can begin to take control. It is just as important for you to work out a way of achieving a settlement for yourself and your family in a way that allows you to maintain your priorities. We listen to what you want to achieve and what your priorities are, and the legal advice we give you is tailored to the individual needs of you and your family.
In many cases a settlement reached in a constructive way will allow you to get on with your lives as painlessly as possible. We can negotiate a settlement for you, refer you to mediation or sit round the table with you, your partner and their lawyer in the Collaborative law process. In other cases agreement at an early stage is not possible and a detailed knowledge of the law, legal procedure and local practice is essential.
We recognise that each family is different and has its own special circumstances and our aim is to enable you to move from a painful present to a stable future. This is never more important than when there are children involved. We understand children’s needs in divorce and separation and want to help both parents to agree on arrangements to benefit their children.
We can advise on all legal aspects of a family disagreement including:
- Divorce
- Unmarried partners' disputes
- Disputes about children
- Civil partnerships
- All related property and financial matters
- Pensions
- Pre-nuptial and cohabitant agreements
- Domestic Violence
- Care Proceedings
- Emergency protection orders
- Adoption
- International child abduction
- Tax and Inheritance implications on divorce or separation
