What can our panel of family law solicitors in Wilmslow help with?

Our panel of expert legal professionals in and around Wilmslow offer a range of family law services.

Divorce:

A family law solicitor can provide essential guidance and advice throughout the divorce process, from filing for divorce to ensuring your rights are protected throughout. Offering a personable service, solicitors can act as skilled negotiators, striving to reach amicable agreements with your former partner or their legal representatives on the terms of the separation. If negotiations fail or if the divorce is particular complex, a family law solicitor in Wilmslow can provide expert representation during court proceedings. Their expertise extends to handling intricate scenarios involving international elements, substantial assets, or complex business interests, ensuring that your financial and personal interests are protected throughout the process.

Financial arrangements:

A family law solicitor, Wilmslow can meticulously identify and value all marital assets, including properties, savings, investments, pensions, and business interests, ensuring accurate assessment. They then skilfully negotiate with your former partner or their legal team to achieve a fair and equitable distribution of these assets, always considering the present and future financial needs of both parties. Solicitors provide advice on the appropriateness of spousal maintenance, including the potential amount and duration of such payments, and handle pension sharing arrangements.

Domestic abuse:

Suffering from domestic violence can have a significant effect on your life. A family law solicitor can assist in obtaining urgent court orders, such as non-molestation orders to prevent any further abuse or harassment. We understand the urgent nature of reaching out for help following domestic abuse and we work hard to connect you with a specialist as soon as possible.

Children matters:

Child arrangements, formally known as child custody and access, concerns the upbringing and living arrangements for any children shared between couples who are separating. The family law solicitors on our panel can help in negotiating living arrangements and overseeing applications for child arrangement orders if necessary. Furthermore, they provide advice and representation in cases involving parental relocation, whether within the UK or internationally.

Resolving disputes

When it comes to resolving family disputes, our panel of family law solicitors in Wilmslow understand that court proceedings are the last thing anyone wants. Instead, our network of experts can facilitate and guide clients through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques to assist in coming to a solution.

There are many advantages to utilising ADR, not least the fact that it is much more cost-effective than formal litigation. It is also typically much quicker than court proceedings, allowing families to reach a resolution without the delays often associated with litigation. This can help reduce stress and uncertainty, and enables everyone involved to move forward sooner with greater clarity and peace of mind.

The most common avenues of ADR for family law include mediation, collaborative law and arbitration.

Mediation

Mediation involves a neutral, professionally trained mediator that helps both parties communicate, explore options, and reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation is especially useful for preserving relationships and focusing on the best interests of any children involved.

Collaborative law

Collaborative law is when each party instructs their own specially trained solicitor, and all parties commit to resolving issues without going to court. This approach encourages open dialogue and cooperative problem solving.

Arbitration

Arbitration is one of the more structured forms of ADR where both parties agree to be bound by the decision of a qualified arbitrator. This is a private alternative to court that can provide a legally binding outcome more quickly.

Litigation

If parties are unable to resolve disputes outside of Court, litigation may be required and a judge will make a decision on any family law issues.
