A breakdown of a relationship is almost always emotionally distressing, especially when you have been married for a long time, have co-habited with a partner and/or have children and pets.

Likewise, disputes over children and visitation, care proceedings and co-habitation disputes can be an equally unsettling time at which you need a friendly, experience legal representative to take you through the process required.

How Thatcher + Hallam can help 

Our full service family law department have many years of experience working with couples who are divorcing and need help with the process and to agree and divide up finances, pensions, property and other assets, separated parents if children going through care proceedings or that are not seeing eye-to-eye regarding where a child or children should live or how their time should be split and unmarried couples who have broken up but are in disagreement over who owns what.

As accredited members of Resolution, our lawyers work with you and your other half’s lawyer in a collaborative way to bring about a swift finalisation of your matter or dispute and encourage early agreement for settlement, leaving you free to enjoy the next chapter of your life.

With fee and cost transparency our client focussed lawyers provide easy to understand advice in a way that suits you.

*In some family law areas we are able to provide funding via Legal Aid however this is means tested. You can assess your eligibility for Legal Aid here.
