Family Law

Sympathetic guidance and support when a relationship breaks down

Family Law

At Stronachs, our solicitors pride themselves on providing sensitive, practical counsel when clients seek our advice as they go through a divorce or separation.

Our understanding and experience of assisting clients seeking a favourable outcome, while managing the issues and difficulties which arise during a relationship breakdown, can help to reduce the impact of the real distress they may be feeling.

Our priority is to assist all parties in the negotiation of separation agreements and, if this is not effective, we can offer our experience of conducting contested divorce actions in the courts on behalf of our clients.

Our team also offers advice on other matters including the dissolution of civil partnerships, pre-nuptial agreements, cohabitation agreements, child support, adoption, guardianship and residence/contact orders.

For those with business interests which are shared as part of a family agreement, we have the in-depth knowledge of company and partnership law needed to negotiate the division of assets and financial arrangements involved.
