We understand that family break-ups are a distressing time. Our Family Law specialists can help you with a full range of issues in a professional and compassionate manner.
Our Family Law Department is headed by Paul Ford who specialises in Divorce and Ancillary Relief matters, and is a member of the Law Society's Children Panel.
By meeting the high standards set by the Legal Services Commission we have also been granted a Legal Aid Franchise. This allows us to conduct both private and Legal Aid work. You can read more information about Legal Aid here or visit the Talbots Legal Advice Centre website.
Our specialist areas include:
- Divorce, Judicial Separation and Annulment of Marriage
- Injunction Proceedings due to Violence or Intimidation
- Children Matters including Residence and Contact Disputes, Prohibited Steps and Specific Issue Orders, Child Abduction, Disputed Parentage and Parental Responsibility.
- Care Proceedings including Care Orders, Supervision Orders and Child Protection Case Conferences.
- Maintenance and Child Support
- Separation Agreements
- Pre and Post-Nuptial Agreements
- Unmarried Couples

We try to avoid acrimony whilst resolving matters as quickly as possible. Many couples try to reach amicable settlements and where appropriate, we will make a referral to a Mediation Service.
