The laws surrounding divorce in England and Wales recently changed to allow for a statement of irretrievable breakdown, joint applications and for single parties to initiate proceedings without assigning blame. It has made the process fairer and more accessible but managing divorce proceedings remains highly complicated, stressful, and expensive.
We know how stressful and challenging divorce can be for everyone involved, especially when families are involved. It can be an emotionally charged time, and coming to a reasonable agreement that avoids the need for legal proceedings can be difficult.
Our friendly team of family law and divorce solicitors in Southend is there to guide you through the legal processes and help you move forward in the most constructive way possible. We work closely with each of our clients to understand their unique situations, goals and expectations.
We can help with a range of legal services from initial consultation to dealing with the division of property or financial assets. If children are involved we can help with arranging custody, visiting rights, child support or spousal support payments and any issues that arise throughout the process.
We also offer family mediation services in which our skilled mediators will work closely with you and all other relevant parties to settle disputes and work out a way forward. We always aim to achieve a fair, equitable and amicable resolution. However, we recognise that this is not always the case.
Where serious disputes do arise between the parties, we will do everything in our power to protect your rights and legal interests. That includes aggressively representing you and fighting your case in a court of law if necessary.
Each of our specialist divorce lawyers and family law experts are members of Resolution – a community of family law professionals dedicated to helping people resolve their differences constructively. They can provide expert advice on all matters regarding divorce and sort out arrangements for children both here in the UK and overseas.
With their help, you can sort out the legal details involved with a separation, resolve disputes and ensure all parties can move forward constructively.
