11. Dyer Burdett
When a relationship is breaking down seeing a Solicitor may seem an overreaction, yet once the decision is taken many clients realise the value of our experience. Our sympathetic response eases the burden and offers a postive first step to a more secure future.
Our approach is realistic and discreet. Our aim is to create a constructive atmosphere encouraging separating couples, with our professional guidance, to reach their own decisions regarding their children and finances. We recognise that Court proceedings can be lengthy and expensive and often result in acrimony that can adversely affect future relationships between parents and children. Where proceedings are unavoidable, and perhaps even urgent, we have many years of practical experience that you can rely upon.
Whilst we will give you an impartial assessment of your situation, we are on your side. We will explain your rights and obligations and take those steps necessary to provide for your personal and financial security and protect your family assets.
Founded in 1980 by Michael Dyer and Robert Burdett, Dyer Burdett & Co has grown into one of the most vibrant and successful practices in the region.
Our team is young and energetic. Operating to the highest audit standards set by the Legal Services Commission, our staff are friendly, efficient and, where appropriate, accredited to all relevent professional bodies. We are able to communicate with clients, worldwide, through all modern IT media.
A short meeting or telephone call will establish how we can help you. We are happy to carry out initial assessment of your problem and provide an estimate of costs without charge and, where necessary, can also advise on approprate funding.

12. Shentons
Any problems affecting the family are likely to be stressful, whether it is separation, divorce, disputes over children or the involvement of Social Services.
Members of our Family Law Department appreciate the difficulties, having between them many years of experience in this type of work and aim to deal with problems sympathetically, promptly and with the minimum of acrimony.
All members of the Department belong to the Resolution (previously Solicitors Family Law Association), who embrace these principles in their code of practice. We also have lawyers who are members of the Law Society's Personal Injury and Family Panels.
As members of Resolution, we are committed to establishing the best may forward for individual clients to resolve their difficulties and offer a number of alternative processes such as negotiated settlement, mediation and collaborative law.
We conduct a half-hour fixed fee interview for ?10.00 inclusive of VAT.
There are a number of ways in which an unhappy or unsatisfactory marriage can be brought to a conclusion and the method chosen depends on a number of factors:
Annulment - this is the least common way. It has the advantage that proceedings can be commenced at any time after the marriage - there is no waiting period. However the grounds are extremely limited and it is very unusual to be able to bring the circumstances of a marriage within the legal requirements.
Separation - although it is not strictly necessary to have a legal document evidencing the fact that parties have separated, it can be beneficial, both to act as evidence and also to identify the issues which need to be agreed. A Separation Agreement can contain whatever information the parties feel they need to record as having been agreed, but of course by it's very nature the terms have to be agreed between the parties.
Divorce - it is only possible to present a Divorce Petition one year and one day after the marriage.

16. Solicitors in Portsmouth - Gurney-Champion & Co.
We offer a sympathetic and professional approach to dealing with divorce. We can draw up the divorce petition and submit this to the Court.
Once this is issued, we can apply for the second stage of divorce, called Decree Nisi. Normally once six weeks have elapsed we can then apply for Decree Absolute, the final stage of the proceedings.
Usually one of the most important factors in the break up of a family are the children. Deciding who they should live with is the first step. Often the absent parent will wish to see the children and we can help deal with these arrangements.An important legal concept is "parental responsibility" which can give someone the rights and responsibilities of being a parent.

17. Family Law Practice in Southampton
Access law are a Southampton based family law practice Solicitors undertaking both Legal Aid and private work including Family and Divorce.
At access law we believe that:
The law should be accessible to everyone equally;
Lawyers can still be approachable and caring without compromising their professionalism;
Our services should be as inclusive as possible, covering most circumstances that a person may find themselves in throughout their lifetime;
As a business, the best way to succeed is to meet the needs of our clients and exceed their expectations;
The greatest advertisement is a satisfied client.
As experienced family lawyers, we are aware that a sensitive, constructive and non-confrontational approach to settling differences is usually beneficial. Where children are involved, we always advise clients that, whenever possible, there needs to be a continuing positive working relationship between parents, even after separation.
This does not mean that we will not act in the interests of our clients as there may be occasions when we need to take a firm and uncompromising line to protect our client's interests but our prime concern will be to satisfactorily conclude everything as quickly and painlessly as possible so that all parties can move on to a more settled future.

19. UK Solicitor, Divorce Settlement
With statistics of 1 in 3 marriages ending in divorce and many unmarried people living together, the end of a relationship now entails far more than a simple parting and a solicitor is often involved.
All Herrington & Carmichael matrimonial lawyers are highly experienced professionals, members of the Solicitors Family Law Association, and familiar with the emotions and conflict divorce can bring. They help our clients through the legal complexities involved in splitting assets, making provision for the children and finalising the divorce.
In appropriate cases, the use of mediation is recommended as a means of achieving an amicable settlement, and can also help speed up the process and cut costs.
Benefits can be
Better solutions reached by the parties themselves.
Powerful messages to the children of their parents working together on their behalf.
Total confidentiality and impartiality.
Quicker solutions at less personal and financial.
Protects legal rights but most mediations end in agreement.
Resolve any other financial issues.
These decisions can then be passed directly to the Court as part of the final divorce settlement. Resolution of differences made in these circumstances can not only speed up the process, but reduce costs. They are also very much tailored to individual needs, with each partner having an equal opportunity to voice their opinions and desires. The non-confrontational atmosphere reduces conflict and aids communication, thus making an amicable agreement far more likely.
One of the first solicitors to offer mediation in the UK.
Herrington & Carmichael were one of the first solicitors in the UK to offer this unique scheme and now have many years of experience in resolving the conflicts of divorce and separation.
Highly experienced mediator Richard Whittington is a fully trained mediator who has been involved in family law since he qualified in 1978. He was Chairman of the Surrey Heath Domestic Violence Forum and a member of the Family Mediators Association and The U.K. College of Mediators. He is also a member of the Family Law Panel. His extensive experience of handling mediation puts him in an ideal position to remove conflict from the negotiations.
The speed with which the law changes today can be breathtaking. That's why it is so important to take good legal advice. Herrington & Carmichael has been offering high quality legal advice and representation to clients - in clear, jargon-free language - for well over a century. Although we strongly believe in the traditional values of excellent service and value for money, our clients appreciate our innovative, proactive and friendly approach to all their legal concerns.
