No matter what the nature of your relationship, our family team is able to advise you. If you are thinking of entering into a marriage or living with your partner, we can advise you on the issues that you need to consider and can assist with both prenuptial agreements and deeds of cohabitation. We have significant experience in divorce as well as the breakdown of cohabitation, and all financial issues that arise from the end of those relationships. We have built up particular expertise in matrimonial disputes involving companies, properties and trusts.
With the recent introduction of the Civil Partnership Act, our team of experts is also able to assist you if you have entered into, or are thinking of entering into, a civil partnership.
Our lawyers also have wide-ranging experience in all child-related issues and can assist in respect of contact and residence disputes between parents, child abduction issues as well as in adoption and other care matters involving the local authority. We can also provide assistance if you have suffered domestic violence and can offer emergency advice should you need to obtain an injunction.
We hold a contract with the Legal Services Commission (formerly the Legal Aid Board) and will assess each individual's eligibility for public funding.
The team has built up a number of contacts in the area and we liaise with other local professionals, such as accountants, independent financial advisers and pensions actuaries, to ensure that you receive a comprehensive package of advice and support. The family team at Field Seymour Parkes is widely recognised amongst the family law community as providing an excellent and professional service to our clients.
