The breakdown of a marriage, separation, a dispute in the family about money or children is very difficult.

We are members of Resolution an organisation of family lawyers and other professionals committed to the constructive resolution of family disputes.
We can often resolve matters by early discussions between solicitors. Identifying at an early stage what can be agreed, and those issues in dispute, is key to resolving the problem.
If discussions do not fix the problem, we will try to find an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).
Mediation is an option. If an agreement cannot be reached, most Family Law disputes require a Mediation Information Assessment Meeting (MIAM), whereby the parties to a dispute are assessed for their suitability for Mediation and then on to Mediation itself.
If Mediation does not work we often recommend Arbitration. An Arbitrator can be agreed or appointed by the Institute of Family Law Arbitrators. An Arbitrator is an expert in the field of Family Law, often a practicing Solicitor or Barrister and in some case already appointed as Deputy District Judge in the Family Court. Arbitration is quick and a fraction of the cost of Court proceedings which can drag on for a year or more.
If there is no alternative to Court proceedings we will guide you through the process. The Court’s procedure is designed to encourage an open cooperative approach that leads to a settlement rather than a full Hearing. We will guide you along the way.
We know that the mere thought dealing with Solicitors is an issue in itself for a lot of people, and there is the spectre of massive legal costs.
