Our Family Law Philosophy
Our Family Solicitors are members of Resolution, a body of family law experts committed to resolving disputes in a constructive and non-confrontational manner. We follow the Resolution Code of Practice and strive to settle matters through discussions and mediation. However, if court is unavoidable, we will fight relentlessly to ensure you and your children get the best possible result. Our highly trained and empathetic Solicitors have the skills to manage the emotional toll that family law cases can take on clients. If needed, we can connect you with support services and counsellors to help you cope. Our team includes accredited Mediators and members of the Law Society’s Children’s Law Panel, so whatever turns life takes, we’re here to help you achieve the outcomes you need to move forward.
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions our family law team receives.
How long does it take to finalise a divorce?
Under the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020, there’s a 20-week minimum period between initiating divorce proceedings and obtaining a Conditional Order. Most divorces take at least six months, though it depends on whether you and your spouse can agree on financial and childcare matters. In high-net-worth cases or where domestic violence or child disputes are involved, it may take longer. We aim to resolve your divorce as swiftly as possible without compromising the outcome you need.
Can you assist if the local authority wants to remove my children?
It’s common to feel anxious if social services become involved with your family. While children cannot be removed from your care without a Court Order, the police can place them in protection for up to 72 hours if they believe there is immediate danger. Our experienced Care Proceedings Solicitors understand how social services operate and will fight to ensure your children remain with you. Contact us as soon as social services reach out.
I don’t live near Nuneaton. Can I still work with you?
Our family law team represents clients not just in Nuneaton, Tamworth, Hinckley and Leicester, but across Warwickshire, Staffordshire and Midlands, and the whole of the UK. Wherever you are, we offer the same high standard of legal support and representation. Distance doesn’t affect the quality of our service.
