Divorce & Separation

At R Gordon Roberts Laurie & Co, we understand that relationship breakdowns can be highly emotional and difficult. Our aim is to guide clients through this process with sensitivity, ensuring that your interests are prioritised while minimising stress and uncertainty.

In situations of divorce, separation, or the dissolution of civil partnerships, there can often be confusion regarding the legal rights and responsibilities of the individuals involved. Our Family Law team provides expert advice on various matters, including property disputes, child arrangements, and the financial options available to you.

Property and Financial Matters: One of the most complex aspects of divorce and separation is often resolving financial matters and dealing with property disputes. We work diligently to help our clients find fair solutions, ensuring that property, assets, and pensions are divided fairly, while safeguarding your financial future. Our approach focuses on constructive negotiation, with the goal of achieving the best outcomes without the need for contentious litigation.

However, if court proceedings become necessary, we are fully prepared to represent you and advocate for your best interests. We recognise the importance of a clear and fair resolution, and we are committed to achieving the most favourable outcome for you.

Children’s Arrangements: When children are involved, their welfare is of utmost importance. We provide advice on child arrangements, including living arrangements and contact with parents. Our team strives to ensure that any decisions made are in the best interests of the children, seeking amicable agreements whenever possible. If disputes arise, we are here to guide you through the legal process to ensure a solution that focuses on the well-being of your children.

Civil Partnerships: We also assist clients with the dissolution of civil partnerships, offering the same level of support and expertise as we do with divorce and separation. Whether you are separating from a partner in a civil partnership or dealing with complex legal issues, we are here to provide clear and compassionate advice.

Tailored Legal Advice and Support: Divorce and separation cases are unique, and we provide tailored legal advice to suit your individual circumstances. Our aim is to resolve matters amicably and efficiently, focusing on achieving fair outcomes while providing emotional and legal support throughout the process.
