How Can A Solicitor Family Law Near Me Help?
Our family law solicitors are specialists in family law and practice. Our experience in the area makes us ideally placed to assist clients, including married and unmarried individuals, civil partners, parents, and other family members, with any matter requiring family law expertise.
Just a few examples of the types of matters with which we regularly deal are as follows:
• Divorce.
Following the updated divorce laws, separating couples no longer need to apportion blame when filing for divorce. The new process has a built-in cooling-off period of 20 weeks during which the parties can explore the possibility of reuniting or, where that is not possible, discuss the issues arising from their separation.
Our family law solicitors will assist you in navigating the divorce process and help you use the cooling off period either to save your relationship or settle or reduce the issues in dispute.
• Child Arrangements.
When parents separate, their child’s new living arrangements can be one of the most hard-fought issues that arises. We understand that you will likely be used to sharing a home with your child and seeing them every day, so coming to terms with a new reality can be incredibly difficult.
Deciding where your child should live and how much time they should spend with each parent must be approached with the child’s best interests in mind. A child’s parents are usually best placed to know how those interests would be best served and the sort of arrangement that would be appropriate in their circumstances. Accordingly, wherever possible, our family law solicitors will encourage you and your ex-partner to cooperate to identify an arrangement that aligns with your family situation.
Of course, if you and your partner are unable to reach an agreement, we will discuss your options with you and help you achieve a fair outcome.
• Inheritance Disputes.
Inheritance disputes can be incredibly complex, so you need support from experienced solicitors like ours to ensure you understand your legal position and achieve a positive outcome.
Whether you require advice on disputing the terms of a Will or wish to challenge an executor’s or administrator’s actions, we are on hand to offer comprehensive legal advice in plain English.
• Cohabitation Disputes.
When you and your partner are unmarried, your rights when you separate are considerably more limited than those enjoyed by spouses or civil partners. Our family law solicitors will help you understand the nature and extent of those rights and assist you in enforcing them.
If you and your ex-partner entered into a Cohabitation Agreement before your separation, we’ll advise you on the enforceability of that agreement and its effects.
What Do Family Law Solicitors Near Me Offer?
Just a few of the benefits we offer our clients include the following:
• Outstanding Legal Knowledge.
Our family law solicitors are leaders in their field and have excellent insight into this niche practice area.
• Exceptional Client Care.
Your best interests, and the best interests of your family, are at the heart of our family law practice. We strive to ensure a fair outcome whatever the situation and offer pragmatic family law advice delivered with the sensitivity and empathy required in family law cases.
• Decades Of Specialist Experience.
With over 30 years’ experience in family law matters, there is nothing we haven’t seen or dealt with before. As a result, we are able to devise creative strategies to achieve our clients’ aims as quickly and cost efficiently as possible.
• Convenience.
Our offices are situated in Gosforth, Newcastle, and feature convenient car parking at the rear. For our clients situated further afield, we are only ever a phone call or email away, and can meet with you virtually at your convenience.
How Much Do Solicitors Near Me Charge?
The legal costs you incur depend on the nature of your family law issue and how long it takes us to resolve it. For example, our costs for dealing with a straightforward, amicable divorce will be less than if the separation is particularly acrimonious.
Whatever assistance you require, rest assured that our firm policy is to provide outstanding legal support at affordable rates. We always encourage our clients to employ the least hostile form of dispute resolution possible in a bid to minimise the time and costs they need to spend on resolving the matter, ensure proportionality, and mitigate their stress.
