Family Law & Mediation
The breakdown of marriages or other relationships can leave you not knowing which way to turn. Whether your problem involves divorce, financial or property issues, or disputes about children, we give high quality, expert and sensitive advice and support at an emotionally charged time and try to minimise conflict wherever possible.
We will assist you with:
Divorce and separation
Disputes about children
Financial and property issues
Pension agreements and entitlements
Domestic Violence
Pre-nuptial / Living Together Agreements
Civil Partnerships
Just as importantly, we act for all parties involved in matters such as care proceedings where the Local Authority and Social Services both are involved. We also have experience in dealing with adoption of children in both the County Court and High Court.
Partner Denise Head also acts as our qualified and experienced mediator through our sister firm, Ipswich Mediation, providing mediation services for separating couples who want to settle arrangements collaboratively for the future.
Family mediation is a process in which two people meet with an independent person, the mediator, to discuss and resolve their differences over family matters, such as arrangements over children, property and finances.
