The breakdown of any Relationship is often a very difficult time, both emotionally, and also because it can involve having to make decisions that may affect the rest of your life.
Our Family Department are able to provide expert advice and assistance on all aspects of separation, divorce, and family breakdown. We will do all we can to try to find the settlement that works for you and for your family, in a way that endeavours to keep the emotional and financial cost to a minimum.
We are able to provide specialist advice in the following areas:
Our aim is to help you to resolve matters by negotiation, and in a constructive way. We are therefore able to offer a Collaborative Family Law service.
Collaborative Law is a relatively new way of specially trained family lawyers helping couples and families to manage their separation in a dignified and non-adversarial way, and without the intervention or threat of Court proceedings.
We are the only firm in Cirencester with a contract allowing us to provide legal aid in appropriate cases. Unfortunately in recent years there have been significant cutbacks in the scope of proceedings for which legal aid is available. Please see our Legal Aid page for more details.
For more information about any of our family services, please contact our solicitor Heather Weavill, or Assistant Ann Storey.
