What is a family law solicitor?

A family law solicitor provides specialist legal advice on a range of family law issues. Family law matters typically involve cases relating to family finances, separation, divorce and marriage, domestic abuse, as well as issues relating to children, such as child arrangements following a divorce or separation.

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

Our network of highly recommended family law solicitors, Newport try to avoid family court proceedings and instead prefer to use arbitration and mediation due to the sensitive nature of cases surrounding children and families.

What can a family law solicitor help with?

Divorce: Divorce or dissolution of a civil partnership involves complex considerations, including financial settlements and child arrangements. Our panel of experienced solicitors provide comprehensive support throughout the process, from initiating the divorce application to finalising the decree and addressing related financial matters, consent orders, and prenuptial agreements. We understand the emotional challenges involved and aim to guide you through this difficult time with sensitivity and expertise.

Financial Settlements: Financial settlements following divorce involve the division of assets and resolution of financial disputes. These proceedings are separate from the divorce itself but often run concurrently. Whether you require asset protection in high net worth cases or assistance with dividing family property, our panel lawyers offer expert guidance to ensure a fair and equitable outcome.

Domestic Abuse: Domestic abuse, including physical, emotional, and financial abuse, can have severe and lasting consequences. Our specialist solicitors provide confidential legal advice and support to victims, empowering them to take necessary steps for their safety and well being.

Child Arrangements: When relationships break down, particularly those involving children, establishing clear and stable child arrangements is paramount. Our network of child law specialists assist parents in reaching agreements regarding contact, parental responsibility, and childcare. Family law solicitors in Newport can provide legal guidance and representation for child arrangement orders, care proceedings, specific issue orders, and prohibited steps orders. They can also collaborate with social services when necessary.
