We prepare and finalise the orders and agreements you need.
Court where necessary
If agreement cannot be reached, we represent you and present your case.
FAQs
Common questions
Do we have to go to court to divorce?
No. Divorce itself is now a largely administrative process. Court usually only becomes necessary if you cannot agree on finances or arrangements for children.
How are arrangements for children decided?
The child’s welfare is the court’s paramount concern. We help parents agree arrangements directly wherever possible, which is usually better for everyone.
Is what I tell you confidential?
Yes. Everything you discuss with us is treated in the strictest confidence.
