Family Divorce Solicitors

Whatever the reason for your separation there are a multitude of issues to consider including divorce, children, finances, property and housing needs, income and pension provision.

It is important that you instruct specialist divorce law solicitors who have the legal skill and knowledge to advise you properly and expertly but who will also deal with you sympathetically and supportively at this most stressful of times. This is the service that our family department can offer you.

Divorce and Separation Services

We specialise in helping our clients with the following areas of Divorce & Separation:

Divorce & Separation Proceedings

It is perhaps not surprising that 75% of all divorces proceed on the basis of behaviour.

Most couples cannot wait for an extended period of separation to occur before finalising divorce and financial issues. Whilst there is a "no fault" divorce system on the statute books this is now unlikely to ever be implemented and therefore for the time being one party will generally have to blame the other for the breakdown of the marriage.

Marriage Separation

Whilst this may be the case the process of ending your marriage does not have to be an adversarial one. The family law protocol recommends that before any divorce petition is issued the parties via their solicitors attempt to agree the facts set out in the divorce petition. This will not be appropriate in all cases but can help take the heat out of the situation in others.

For further details about the separation/divorce process, please read our divorce proceedings page or contact our family law team.

We Understand the need for Sensitivity and Compassion

Marriage separation is an extremely difficult time and here at Sydney Mitchell we fully recognise the need for sensitivity. Our vast experience of handling marriage separation cases has allowed us to fully appreciate the emotions associated with separation, especially when there are children involved.

As your solicitor, we will always act in your best interests and will ensure that the separation process is handled in a transparant manner, as swiftly and sensitively as possible for all those involved.
