Family Law Advice in Manchester from Farleys Solicitors

Family law solicitors in Manchester

Legal action can be complex and stressful enough to deal with at the best of times, but especially so where family is concerned. More than any other area of law, family law requires discretion, sensitivity and a clear understanding of each client’s needs.

Here at Farleys Solicitors, that’s exactly what we strive to provide. With a friendly, personable approach, our Manchester solicitors provide specialist legal advice on all aspects of family law, including divorce and separation. All our years of experience have taught us that while different cases may share similarities, your individual situation is unique, so our family law solicitors take care to give you tailored, detailed advice that takes the specifics into account.

You can always count on us to deliver this advice in plain English, avoiding any legal jargon unless absolutely necessary. Our priority is to make it as easy as possible for you to understand your options, so we can work with you to achieve the best outcome for yourself, your children and your finances.

Family Dispute resolution solicitors in Manchester

Our dispute resolution solicitors know all too well the sense of apprehension that often surrounds court proceedings, so we’ll only go to court as a last resort. First, we’ll explore several alternative options with you, including mediation, and collaborative law.

Mediation involves a discussion between both sides that is facilitated by a third, neutral party, while collaborative law involves all parties and their solicitors meeting in person to try and reach a settlement. Our solicitors will work with you to decide on the best way forward for your individual case, helping to resolve things in a way that minimises unnecessary cost or distress.

Expert divorce lawyers in Manchester

When a marriage or long-term relationship ends, there’s always a lot to process for everyone involved. The emotional impact alone can be difficult to cope with, and especially so when there are other practical issues to consider, such as the welfare of any children involved, or the provision of housing and finances.

Our Manchester solicitors know exactly how traumatic and stressful these situations can be, so we provide focused, practical legal advice that’s tailored to your individual circumstances. This expertise encompasses child law advice, helping you fully understand all aspects of child arrangement orders, and we can also give you specialist financial advice if it’s something you need for greater peace of mind.

Free family law drop in clinic

Here at Farleys, our family law team realise that it can be difficult to find the time to fit personal appointments into your daytime schedule. That’s why we run a weekly out-of-hours clinic at our Blackburn and Burnley offices, allowing you to gain access to quality legal advice without having to take time off work.

Farleys Family Law Team

Headed by our experienced partner Antonia Love, our family law team comprises 16 divorce solicitors and lawyers with a proven track record of handling complex cases, frequently dealing with substantial financial assets.

Every member of our family law team is a member of Resolution, a UK organisation of family lawyers committed to a construction approach in the practice of family law. We are strongly committed to the Resolution Code of Practice, which is a key reason why the overwhelming majority of our family and divorce cases achieve a settlement agreed by both parties, without the need for an expensive final hearing.

The department also has lawyers trained in collaborative law, members of the Law Society Children Panel, and the Law Society Family Law Panel.
