22. Blake Lapthorn Linnell
Blake Lapthorn Linnell has one of the largest specialist Family Law and Children teams in the South. We are able to provide clear and objective advice and sensitive help with all problems in this area of the law. The team have a depth of expertise and experience in divorce, separation, the financial consequences of relationship breakdown, cohabitation, pre-marital agreements, and children proceedings.
Our aim is to provide expert legal advice and representation to enable clients to be sure of their rights and help them reach a fair settlement. Our professional, yet personal, service is tailored to meet the aims of the individual and provide peace of mind and sensible pro-active solutions to the range of family and children problems that can arise. Our experience enables us to minimise conflict and hostility wherever possible and to work with clients to obtain the best possible outcome.
The complexity of issues in family matters requires specialist and discrete guidance. This often includes advice on the international aspects of disputes, commercial issues and business concerns.
All of the team are members of the Solicitors Family Law Association, two are member of the Law Society's Family Law Panel, and two are members of the Solicitors Family Law Association panel of experts. This panel membership reflects their particular expertise in these areas, above and beyond the normal legal qualification.
We have good contacts with a range of professionals and can help put you in touch with other professionals and advice agencies where appropriate for specialist help such as pensions and tax advice.
We take an approach which is designed to assist parties in coming to a suitable outcome, and utilise the Solicitors Family Law Association Code of Practice in appropriate cases.
Obtaining a divorce can be straightforward if both parties agree that the marriage is over. Difficulties arise in resolving how and when to separate, where to live, and what arrangements to make for children and finances.
Blake Lapthorn Linnell offers a constructive approach to help progress things as quickly as possible. We will be happy to discuss anything that is unclear or answer any further questions you may have.
Anyone who has been married for over a year, providing one of the couple has their permanent home, or has been resident at least a year prior to the divorce petition is started, in England or Wales. It doesn't matter where you were married.
The divorce takes approximately 4-6 months although the Decree Absolute is often not obtained until the finances are resolved. This may be much later.

25. Mackarness & Lunt Solicitors, Petersfield
At Mackarness & Lunt we have wide experience of divorce, family law, disputes between parents as to their children and financial matters. We are committed to dealing with family matters in a sympathetic manner and in a way that seeks to reduce bitterness and trauma.
The proceedings for a divorce can be complicated and advice is needed on how to start and respond to the action. Arrangements for residence and contact with the children need careful consideration.
Financial matters following the breakdown are of vital importance to the parties and Samantha will be able to assist by negotiating an agreement. If agreement cannot be reached then the parties need realistic advice and expert preparation and representation at a Court hearing.
Advice can be given as to the assessment of child support payable under the Child Support Act and how the Child Support Agency may become involved. The tax implications of maintenance orders are also most important.
Sometimes couples do not wish formally to end their marriage at the time of breakdown. They may wish to enter into a deed of separation. This is a written agreement setting out the terms agreed as to financial matters and property. It can also deal with arrangements for children and when there should be divorce proceedings.
If divorce follows, the Court may be asked to make an order in accordance with the terms of the deed. It is vital therefore to have the terms of any agreement properly negotiated with full disclosure being made on both sides.
Breakdown of relationships between unmarried couples causes many of the same problems but the legal position may be very different in relation to their property and sometimes also their children. We have wide experience of these problems and the legal remedies available.
A mediator can help you work out arrangements with your partner. A mediator does not decide any issues, you do. The mediator is simply there to help. We can refer you to experienced mediators
First, we recommend that you arrange a no ? obligation fixed fee initial consultation with us limited to a cost of ?40 which includes the VAT. but if work commitments restrict this then it may be possible for this to take place over the telephone.
This is an opportunity for you to discuss with us your particular circumstances and we can advise you on what to do next.
At the end of the fixed fee consultation you have a number of options open to you, you may even decide not to take any further action at this stage. We will however keep all details from our meeting should you wish to return in the future.
We can give you a fixed fee quote to complete your divorce or prepare your deed of separation. A simple, non-contested divorce can cost as little as ?600/?700 plus VAT. In any divorce case there are also fees to be paid to the court. These are currently ?300 payable when the petition is filed and ?40 to apply for the Decree Absolute at the end of the case.
I am proud to work in the very same building as my great-great-uncle who moved from Alresford to Petersfield at the turn of the century, and then to the present offices in 1925.However, this does not mean that we are just looking to the past. Sensitive investment in new technology has meant that we can achieve our aim of providing up to the minute legal services, without sacrificing our reputation as a friendly partnership with a firm base in the community.
