The process of ending a relationship with a long-term partner or spouse can be an extremely difficult time. You can trust the Specialist Family Law Services Team at Ashmans Solicitors to help make the process as easy as possible for you. If you want professional guidance and support we are here to help and guide you.

Often, the people most affected in a divorce or separation are the children. Arranging the care, financial support and other aspects of raising a child when you are no longer with their other parent can be extremely difficult to coordinate. If you and the child’s other parent are unable to reach an agreement on how your child will be raised between yourselves, it may be necessary to get an order from a family court. You may find yourself needing to consult a family law expert for advice.

If Children’s Services believe a child is at risk of significant harm, they can take various action to protect the child. They could also make an application to court (Care Proceedings).

If you are experiencing domestic abuse or have been threatened with violence, our Domestic Abuse solicitors can advise you of the options available to you. We can also assist with Forced Marriage Protection Orders.
