Divorce or separation
If you are considering a divorce, dissolving a civil partnership
or have chosen to separate from a long-term partner you cohabit
with, our family law solicitors can help you. We will listen to
your needs during an initial consultation and provide you with a
solicitor with the most suitable expertise to support and guide
your circumstances.
We understand that matters requiring family law intervention can
be emotional and frustrating, particularly when children are
involved. We can help resolve the situation to help you achieve
the results you want. We strongly advocate a collaborative
approach wherever possible, avoiding unnecessary court costs, to
get an outcome that is acceptable to all parties. However, should
your case need to go to court, our solicitors with a wealth of
experience are available to help you in securing a successful
result.
We have worked with clients nationally and internationally, with a
variety of needs and circumstances and you will have this
collective experience helping you through this delicate process.
Children, Child Arrangements and Custody
Our children are our most valued achievements. Considering child
arrangements or custody disputes can be a worrying process to go
through. At Morgan Hill Solicitors, we aim to support and guide
you through the process. Helping to ease the burden of stress and
worry by keeping you informed, providing quality legal advice and
working to support you to achieve the best outcome possible for
each personal situation.
Any parent or guardian will be the first to say their children are
their most precious ‘assets’. The welfare of our
children is of paramount importance and in court proceedings, the
necessity for welfare considerations is no different.
Complicated divorce proceedings take their toll on everyone
involved, particularly our children. Most courts tend to be more
obliging to situations where a mutual resolution can and has been
made to protect their well-being. Therefore, we would advise that
court proceedings are seen as a very last resort should an
amicable resolution be impossible.
We can become the links to wider support facilities to ensure that
everyone in your family is receiving the care and guidance they
may need. We will inform you of any potential disputes and
timeline, guiding you at every turn to ensure you receive the best
outcome for you and your children.
Family Financial Settlements
If you wish to protect your wealth or wish to ensure your
family’s financial future is secured, our experienced family
law solicitors and in-house accountancy team have the experience
and expertise available to resolve family financial settlements.
We have worked with high profile celebrities as well as landowners
and high net-worth individuals, all enquiries and cases are
handled with the strictest of confidence and discretion.
Financial ties are perhaps one of the most stressful to unpick and
settle within divorce proceedings. Trying to handle and resolve
years of mutual finances and financial decisions within a short
time can be frustrating and exhausting.
Financial settlements or divorce proceedings encompass everything
from pensions to the family home, taking assets owned before the
union of marriage into consideration too; so obtaining
professional legal advice is useful if you’re looking to
protect your assets and those of your dependents once a divorce is
finalised.
Our team of family law solicitors are experienced with dealing
with complicated financial matters, including pensions, estates
and property.
If you’re considering financial settlement or require
further information about the options available to you, our
financial settlement experts are here to support you, making a
complex process simple and as stress-free as possible.
Children Issues and Social Services
We have represented children, grandparents and parents as well as
other family members in cases involving Social Services. From
adoption to allegations of sexual abuse and domestic violence; we
act on behalf of our clients to deliver a sensitive, highly
informative approach that safeguards the needs of the individual,
whilst working in accordance with the Law Society Children Panel.
Our team is dedicated to empowering people, equipping them with
the knowledge and support they require when handling sensitive and
upsetting family matters.
If you have a sensitive family matter that requires legal advice,
please contact our team who will handle your information
sensitively and discreetly.
Cohabitation and Living Together
Despite the many changes society has made towards the law with
cohabiting couples, there is still a long way to go to achieve the
same rights as couples who are married or in a civil partnership.
We firmly believe that it is therefore essential for every couple,
regardless of their marital status to consider the financial
implications should a relationship break down. Our team of
specialists can advise you whether you are about to move in with
your partner or if a relationship breakdown has already arisen.
For more information on your rights, call us for a free, no-
obligation consultation.
Non-confrontational Resolution of Family Disputes
Our team of family law solicitors are dedicated to minimising the
conflict and stress involved with matters such as divorce, child
contact arrangements and family disputes. Whether you are planning
to avoid potential future conflict with cohabitation or marriage
or seeking help with divorce or child custody arrangements, we can
help.
Our experienced solicitors will provide you with options for your
circumstances and support you in reaching the best outcome for
you, regardless of your situation.
Not every family dispute needs to end up in court and more often
than not, a resolution can be made quite amicably by enlisting the
help from other channels to encourage dialogue between ex-
partners. At Morgan Hill Solicitors, we actively encourage clients
to attempt mediation or a collaborative law approach before
residing with a divorce hearing, particularly with matters of
child contact and financial distribution. Waiting for hearings can
be distressing, time-consuming and costly, so we always recommend
that family disputes be managed in a non-confrontational manner
where possible.
For more information on alternative resolution methods, contact
our team who will provide you with all options available to you
and your circumstances.
