Whenever a relationship breaks down, whether involving cohabitees, parties to a civil partnership, or a married couple, there are legal implications. Often these involve children or property. Often the parties will be distressed and feeling very vulnerable. Whatever the problem, our Family Law Department is there to offer advice and support through these difficult times.
The Head of our Family Law Department is Mary White. She is a member of the Solicitors? Family Law Panel and Resolution. She is experienced in all areas of Family Law and will encourage you to find a constructive approach to resolve the problems bearing in mind that the interests of any children must always come first.
We can deal with Divorce or Separation Agreements. We can advise on the tax implications of any settlement that is proposed. If there is a dispute as to where the children are to live or how often they are to see the parent who no longer lives with them, although Court proceedings are possible, often it is not the best answer. Mary will encourage you to find a solution that is in the best interests of the children.
We can also advise you on the implications of cohabitation and, if desired, prepare Cohabitation Agreements or, if you are contemplating marriage, Pre-Nuptial Agreements.
If you have a legal problem and need advice and assistance then we want to help you. We have been assisting people in the Derby and Nottingham areas for over two hundred years.
What we don?t want to do is to blind you with legal jargon, frustrate you by not returning calls or cause you anxiety by sending you unexpected bills. We want to offer you a quality service, focused on you. |

Statistics show that relationships are breaking down at an increasing rate. At such times taking legal advice can seem an intimidating prospect. Here at Smith Partnership our dedicated family law team understand that feeling. We provide a friendly, approachable and professional service. We aim to be as accessible as possible for the genuine concerns and problems that arise. Our aim is to provide an understanding ear when you need it the most.
Our team provides a complete and confidential service in all areas of family law, servicing the needs of our clients across the Midlands from our offices at Derby, Burton, Swadlincote, Leicester and Stoke on Trent.
Children matters can be both highly sensitive and complex. Whether it is an application for Contact, Residence, Parental Responsibility or any other issue, we have particular expertise in this area. This can also include emergency applications at short notice.
Often the most difficult issues to resolve on a separation, whether divorce or cohabitation, are the financial issues. Whether they be property issues or complicated business, investment or pension interests our team is able to provide specialised and expert legal advice. Family Associate Partners Ruth Jones, Stuart Shaw and Peter Dadswell, and senior colleagues Bina Modi and Melanie Brigden have particular expertise and success in handling high-worth financial disputes. Our goal is to protect your interests both now and for the future.
We handle all other issues associated with relationship breakdown including divorce, CSA disputes, domestic violence injunctions, and Occupation Orders to exclude a partner from a property. We are also able to provide assistance before any dispute or proceedings exist, for example in the negotiation and drafting of Cohabitation, Pre-Nuptial and Separation Agreements.
Having met the high standards required by the Legal Services Commission in being granted a franchise in family work, we are also able to undertake work that is publicly funded.
Smith Partnership was formed on 1st October 1987 through the merger of two legal practices with a common philosophy and a long history of professional co-operation. Our partners are committed to a progressive approach to legal practice and a policy of dynamic growth. We constantly strive to build upon the existing strengths of partners and staff and to expand both the range of services provided and the geographical reach of the practice.
The firm?s largest concentration of personnel is in Derby. It has, however, established itself as a strong local force in the other cities and towns where it has branches. |
