Divorce and Family Lawyers in London
When a marriage or civil partnership breaks down, reaching an agreement on the outcome of the divorce or separation can be particularly challenging. Due to the level of emotion involved, it is easy for discussions to develop into disputes.
When legal advice is not sought early enough, these can quickly escalate into costly court battles that only aid in dividing the family further.
Once we identify the best approach for our client’s divorce, we work to achieve an outcome that not only meets the client’s needs but secures a stable and promising future for the family.
Key specialisms of Clapham Law family lawyers
Securing the best divorce settlement in many cases, this will mean the most money, but other factors can be important including taking a commercial view on saving costs when needs can be met from proposed settlement terms. Where it is possible and appropriate to do so, we will always assist clients to strive for an agreement amicably outside of court, potentially via methods of alternative dispute resolution and helping clients to consider and prepare for mediation. We can assist in converting agreed settlement terms into a court order, including provisions for a clean break if appropriate and dismissing future claims.
International divorce– issues can range from which country’s court has jurisdiction, to assets situated abroad, concerns about relocation or abduction of a child.
