The Family Department

Our Family Department offers an excellent service in all areas of family law. Our aim is to resolve your problems smoothly and sensitively by providing top quality legal advice and guidance without any jargon.

We understand that at this difficult and distressing time clients will be facing emotional and financial difficulties and where possible we will aim to deal with cases in a constructive and non-confrontational way by referring cases to mediation in the first instance to avoid cost and the uncertainty of going to court.

If court proceedings are necessary, we will work hard to bring your case to a fair conclusion.

We can help with:

Marriage break down - advising on the legal procedure and obtaining your divorce or other effective alternatives including judicial separation, resolving your financial matters and in an emergency obtaining financial injunctions and also dealing with any children issues.

Co-habitation- advising on co-habitation disputes including the legal ownership of property and financial settlements for children.

Domestic violence – advise on and obtaining immediate protection for clients at risk of domestic violence, and all other related issues, protecting your home and children.

Children issues - advising on private law children disputes involving contact, residence, parental rights, removal from jurisdiction and also in relation to public law children disputes which involve social services,and child protection issues.

Our team is headed by Jenny Morrison, a partner of the firm. Jenny has extensive experience in family and children disputes, acting for parents and children. Jenny is on the Law Society Children Panel and the Family Law Panel.
