Family and Children

Ashfords' Family Law Team appreciates that a relationship breakdown is a traumatic event, especially when it involves children and difficult finances. To resolve all these issues the need for expert legal help and support is vital. We treat all issues with the sensitivity you would expect. We aim to provide tailored advice to meet your needs in a reassuring, constructive and cost-effective manner.

By working closely with specialist property, tax, trusts and commercial solicitors within the Firm, as well as other professional advisors, such as accountants and financial advisors, the team provides clients with a complete solution.

Work handled includes:

  • Agreements;
  • Civil partnerships;
  • Disputes between unmarried partners;
  • Disputes involving children;
  • Divorce and separation;
  • Financial settlements and pension sharing;
  • Living together; and
  • Mediation.

Many of the senior members of the team are members of Resolution, the national organisation of family lawyers committed to non-confrontational divorce, separation and other family problems.

Ashfords hold a 'public funding' franchise and will undertake work on what is often called 'legal aid' if the merits and financial circumstances of the client permit this.
