Description: The majority of our clients who ask us to handle their divorce or help resolve a sensitive family issue do so because friends and relatives have recommended us to them. It is therefore not surprising that team leader and partner Carolyn Green is highly recommended by the Legal 500. Her name also appears amongst those listed as national legal experts in family law matters in another highly regarded legal publication.

Representing an equal number of husbands and wives our typical clients include company directors, housewives, farmers, accountants, barristers and other professionals. Many cases involve complex financial matters associated with the breakdown of a marriage, including determining how business assets and pensions are to be divided. We settle as many cases as possible by negotiation rather than court proceedings.

Our family law team has a reputation for handling divorce and separation matters with tact and sensitivity.

Many of the people we help want the reassurance of obtaining legal advice at an early stage so they are clear what their rights are ? they often find this information helps them to make decisions later on.

We try to settle as many cases as possible by negotiation rather than immediately launching into court proceedings that, in our experience, can often result in entrenched attitudes and polarised positions. Many of the cases the team deals with involve complex financial matters associated with the breakdown of a marriage, including determining how business assets and pensions are to be divided.

Disagreements about children are common when a relationship breaks down. At Rickerbys the best interests of the child will be of paramount concern when issues such as with whom a child should live or how much contact they should have with the other parent have to be decided.
