Our family law solicitors offer various pricing options including fixed fees for specific services, hourly rates, and payment plans. We provide transparent quotes so you know exactly what to expect.
How long does divorce take?
The minimum time for divorce is 26 weeks due to legal requirements, but complex cases involving finances or children can take longer. Our family law solicitors will provide realistic timescales based on your specific circumstances.
Can I get legal aid for family law matters?
Legal aid is available for some family law cases, particularly those involving domestic violence or child protection. Our family law solicitors can advise whether you qualify and explore alternative funding options.
What's the difference between mediation and using family law solicitors?
Mediation involves an independent mediator helping you reach agreements, while family law solicitors provide legal advice and representation. Many clients benefit from both approaches, and our solicitors can advise on the best strategy for your situation.

Many family law cases are resolved without court proceedings through negotiation, mediation, or collaborative law. Our family law solicitors prioritise amicable resolution wherever possible to reduce stress and costs.
How are children's interests protected in family law cases?
Children’s welfare is the court’s paramount consideration in all family law cases. Our family law solicitors ensure children’s voices are heard and their best interests are protected throughout the process.

Yes, our family law team has experience with international family law matters, including cross-border custody disputes and international child abduction cases under the Hague Convention.
