Our Family & Matrimonial Legal Services
Divorce & Separation
The end of a marriage or relationship can involve a number of important legal decisions. Our divorce solicitors provide advice and support to help you understand the divorce and separation process and the issues that may need to be addressed when a relationship comes to an end.
We can help you understand your legal position and the options available as you plan your next steps.
Financial & Property Matters
Relationship breakdown can raise important questions about finances, property and the division of assets. Reaching appropriate financial arrangements can be particularly important where there is a family home or significant financial interests involved.
Our family solicitors provide advice on financial and property matters arising from family and relationship issues, helping you understand your position and the options available to you.
Children & Child Arrangements
When parents separate, decisions about children can often be among the most important and sensitive matters to resolve. Clear arrangements can provide greater stability and certainty for everyone involved.
We provide family law advice concerning children and child arrangements, helping parents understand their rights, responsibilities and the legal considerations that may apply to their circumstances.
Prenuptial & Relationship Agreements
Planning ahead can help couples establish greater clarity around their financial arrangements. A prenuptial agreement can set out how certain financial matters may be considered if a marriage later breaks down, while other relationship agreements may help couples establish arrangements during their relationship.
Our solicitors can provide advice on prenuptial and relationship agreements, explaining the legal considerations involved and helping you understand your options before entering into an agreement.
Domestic Abuse & Protective Orders
Domestic abuse can create serious and sensitive legal concerns for individuals and families. If you are experiencing abuse or require protection, it is important to understand what legal options may be available.
SWM Solicitors provides confidential family law advice on domestic abuse and protective orders, helping clients understand the legal steps that may be available to protect themselves and their families.
Adoption & Children
Adoption is an important legal process that can have a lasting impact on children and families. Understanding the legal requirements and responsibilities involved is essential when considering adoption or dealing with related family matters.
We provide professional legal advice on adoption and children, helping individuals and families understand the legal aspects of their circumstances and the options available to them.
Professional Family Law Advice
Family matters can sometimes involve several connected issues. A separation, for example, may involve questions about finances, property and children at the same time. Other circumstances may require advice about relationship agreements, domestic abuse or adoption.
Our family law solicitors take the time to understand your circumstances before explaining the legal position and possible options. We aim to provide clear, practical and confidential advice without unnecessary legal jargon.
