| 12. Dodds & Partners Solicitors, Personal Legal Service
|
It is a fact of life that unfortunately not all marriages are successful. When a relationship breaks down it is not unusual for one or both parties to seek to dissolve the marriage or to obtain a formal decree of judicial separation.
If there are children of the family under 18 the court must be satisfied that proper arrangements are being made for their welfare.
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.
We have a wealth of experience in dealing with all sorts of marital breakdowns to include high income asset cases and very complex pension and business interests.
The family department is staffed by a team of experienced male and female lawyers. They are dedicated to dealing with family law issues and legal problems with relationship breakdowns.
Divorce / Separation
Financial arrangements on family breakdown, including high value income and asset cases and complex pension issues.
Family Mediation
Cohabitation difficulties
Protection from domestic violence / injunctions
All areas of Child Care Law including that relating to local authorities
Adoption |

| 14. Thomas Flavell
|
If you decide to separate you do not necessarily need to divorce straightaway. There are the following alternatives to divorce:
You separate and deal with the financial aspects of the separation by agreement which can be evidenced by a formal Deed of Separation.
You separate and leave financial matters as they are.
You apply to the Court for a Decree of Judicial Separation which does not dissolve the marriage but enables the Court to resolve financial disputes between the husband and the wife
You can apply to your local Family Proceedings Court for maintenance for yourself.
The firm was founded almost 200 years ago in 1809 and was joined in 1920 by the late Thomas Flavell from whom the practice now takes its name. The family connection continues to this day. |

| 15. Mander Cruickshank, Solicitors
|
Mander Cruickshank has an outstanding reputation and a high level of expertise in this difficult field.
Our professional and experienced team understand that the breakdown of a relationship is difficult to deal with. Effective advice and support is essential to guide you through these difficulties.
Service to the client is paramount, with the emphasis on understanding and responding to very difficult situations.
The Family team is headed by Kathryn Hicklin who is a member of the Solicitors Family Law Association and she is supported by three solicitors and three assistants.
For some years we have met and maintained the high standards required by the Legal Services Commission and have been awarded a Franchise for Family matters. This means that we are able to conduct private and Legal Aid work. Many clients are eligible to receive help with their fees.
We offer advice in the following areas:
Separation and divorce
Arrangements for children
Financial and Property
Domestic Violence and injunctions
Mander Cruickshank is a family practice of solicitors founded in the early 1920's. Since then it has served Coalville and its surrounding districts in Leicestershire. The practice is engaged principally in private client work and since the inception of Legal Aid has acted for clients in the areas of criminal, matrimonial and civil work. At the end of 2001 it took over the practice of Bryan Davies & Co, on the sad death of Mr Davies. We have offices in Coalville and Hinckley and we serve these areas and the surrounding areas around Leicester.
The Practice holds a Legal Services Commission franchise in both Family and Crime , which means that the Practice is subject to stringent quality control measures. |

| 16. Salusburys
|
This is an area of law where it is essential to receive specialist and sympathetic advice and representation. All work is overseen by either Ian Hilton-Tapp or Steven McCallister both of whom are members of the Law Society Family Law Panel.
We offer a free initial half hour consultation at which your problem can be discussed and advice provided with no obligation on your part to use our services again. If you require further assistance then during the initial consultation we will have explained to you our charging arrangements and whether you may qualify for Legal Aid (now known as "Public Funding").
Our work in this area has been examined by the Legal Service Commission and is quality approved by them. Accordingly we have been awarded a Legal Services Commission Public Funding Contract. This allows us to advise and represent you under the Public Funding Scheme if you qualify on financial grounds and the circumstances of the case are considered to merit Public Funding.
If you wish to speak with a member of our Family Law Department then please do not hesitate to contact them by telephone, letter or e-mail. If you visit our office in person one of them may be available to provide an immediate free consultation or alternatively an early appointment can be made.
Our principal offices are situated at 3 Wycliffe Street, Leicester. We also have an office in the village of Broughton Astley, approximately 10 miles south of Leicester City Centre, at which appointments can be made through our Leicester office. The firm has a History of over 150 years.
Our current building, at No. 3 Wycliffe Street in Leicester has for over 150 years been continuously occupied by practising solicitors in an unbroken succession. And for around 100 years a firm incorporating the name Salusbury has occupied this site. Our unusual name often meets with query; an attachment to its rather curious spelling is probably one reason why it has been retained and adopted by all who have practised here over many years. This is despite the fact that nobody at the firm has had a family relationship to the Salusburys for a very long while. |

| 19. Richard Knight and Company, Solicitors Syston
|
No-one is immune from family and relationship problems.
We can help with matrimonial problems, first by talking things over in an informal way, then if you wish, give you a detailed breakdown of the likely costs and consequences of your intended actions.
Certainly, you can "pay as you go", if you so wish, and we can let you know from time to time, the state of your account.
We want you to be able to budget properly and to know where you stand with us.
You can set a maximum budget and ask us not to exceed it.
Two things you can be sure of-a professional approach and a sympathetic attitude.
What does it mean by legally separated?
This is a very broad term which might mean that you have merely separated in the eyes of the law or perhaps that some argument has been worked out between you by solicitors or by yourselves.
Can we sort out our own agreement?
Yes. But you might find you miss out important and potentially costly assets. For example, pensions are an area of the law that is growing in complexity. You may find that you miss out on your full entitlement.
What are the grounds for divorce?
Two years separation and your mutual consent.
The other person's adultery or unreasonable behaviour.
Five years separation (the consent of the other party is not required).
Two years desertion
What does unreasonable behaviour mean?
Unreasonable behaviour means behaviour which you find unreasonable, provided that a fair minded judge things you are not being too trivial or too vague. Persistent failure to clean the car on its own would not be enough but might if it was part of a general pattern of neglect of household duties and a neglectful attitude to you.
Do I need to appear in Court if I wish to file for a divorce?
Generally speaking, no.
How long does it take from start to finish?
Between four to six months.
What is a Decree Nisi?
A decision by the Court that you are entitled to a divorce. The marriage will end on the grant of the Decree Absolute about six weeks later.
I have received a Divorce Petition from my spouse but I don?t agree with what it accuses me of. What can I do?
You could defend the petition but the costs would be prohibitive in most cases. It would make sense to negotiate the allegations or come to some other agreement with your spouse. A solicitor will help you decide the best course of action.
My wife?s Divorce Petition accuses me of adultery. It also is asking the Court to make me pay the costs of the divorce action. What can I do?
You could agree to pay the costs which would be in the order of ?300 to ?500. Your solicitor could often bargain with your spouse?s solicitors for a smaller payment or sometimes for no payment at all. |
