What is Family Law?
Family Law is a term used to describe the various laws and legal procedures which apply to individuals within a family and therefore the family overall.
Often, family law has a protective element intended to protect the people it applies to. It can also be used to make legal changes to a family because, for example, people no longer wish to be married.
A specialist family law solicitor will help with the legal aspects of your individual situation, including negotiation and settlement arrangements. Each situation is treated as unique, with an individual assessment of your case and how we can use our expertise to help you move forward.
