Description: Khilkoff-Boulding's Family Department is particularly strong. Our team of practitioners, supported by experienced and competent staff, has many years of practice of family law under its collective belt.

Family and Matrimonial law encompasses Divorce, Separation, Financial Disputes, Residence for and Contact with children, Domestic violence, Children's care proceedings, Wardship, Guardianship, public law proceedings etc. Khilkoff Boulding and Co. can provide a helpful and realistic family law service dealing with all the above, as well as family financial, tax planning and trusts work.

Khilkoff-Boulding is one of the few firms in Kent which can not only provide an accredited specialist in children's' public law matters, but also a fully trained, legally qualified family mediator (who can act as such independently in cases where neither of the parties have instructed the firm). Both of these specialists are members of the Solicitors Family Law Association, and one is a member of the Law Society's Children Panel.

A fair division of the family assets, including the matrimonial home, must be worked out. In the majority of cases this is achieved by negotiation between solicitors and agreement between the parties, and agreement between the parties, or their approval by the Court. If agreement cannot be reached then Court Proceedings (Ancillary Relief) will be initiated and will result either in an eventual settlement, or the Court will decide the financial outcome for the parties without their consent.

Where the children of the relationship reside and how much contact they have between their parents is ideally best arranged between those concerned, voluntarily. If arrangements cannot be agreed, the Court can be asked to decide matters of the children?s residence and contact with the other parent.
