What is a family law solicitor?

An experienced family law solicitor specialises in the practice area of cases involving family law and provides a range of legal services. Family law matters typically involve cases relating to family finances, cohabitation agreements, separation, divorce and marriage, nuptial agreements, domestic violence, as well as issues relating to children, such as child arrangements following a divorce or separation.

A family law solicitor can provide expert legal advice, assistance and dispute resolution to their clients throughout a family law dispute in order to obtain the best possible outcome on their case.

What can a family law solicitor in Cheadle assist with?

Our panel of leading family law solicitors based in Cheadle and beyond can assist with a range of family legal matters, providing the highest level of service in a cost effective manner.

Divorce 

Relationship breakdowns bring up a lot of legal issues to consider, from financial settlements, disputes over pre-nuptial agreements, separation agreements and to the sharing of childcare. Ending a marriage or civil partnership is rarely easy and can be a particularly difficult process for those involved, including the couple and the wider family members. Our panel firms have the experience and expertise required to assist you throughout the divorce process.

Ancillary/ financial relief 

Ancillary relief refers to a process which is related to divorce proceedings where the divorced couple deal with the division of assets and resolve any financial disputes. Financial relief proceedings are not dealt with during divorce proceedings as they are a separate matter; however, they may run at the same time as the divorce proceedings.

Child arrangements

The breakdown of any relationship is never easy, especially when children are involved. It is essential that parents can reach an agreement on child contact and parental responsibility. Our panel of solicitors will provide legal advice and assistance in applications for child arrangement orders. Alongside Child Arrangement Orders, our panel of solicitors may also assist with Care Proceedings, Specific Issue Orders and Prohibited Steps Orders.

Costs and fees

The cost of hiring a family law solicitor depends on the complexity of your case and the level of legal support required. Fees can vary based on factors such as the time involved, the nature of the dispute, and whether court proceedings are necessary. Many solicitors offer fixed-fee services, and all costs will be discussed with you before proceeding.

Legal Aid is generally unavailable for most family law cases unless they involve domestic abuse, child abduction, or situations where homelessness is a risk. Find out if you are eligible for Legal Aid here.
