1. Kingsley Napley
 
Family issues cover a wide spectrum. These include: relationship breakdown, its effects on children, and its legal and financial aspects; child abduction; protecting family assets from a husband/wife; domestic violence; prenuptial agreements; and mediation.
We give expert advice and help in all these matters, often as a matter of urgency. Circumstances vary, but our clients or their partners/spouses tend to have substantial assets and are often in the public eye. They come to us to have matters resolved quickly, pragmatically and cost-effectively.
Although your marriage may have broken down, divorce is not the only option. Whilst for the vast majority of couples a divorce is the sensible way to formalise their separation, you may consider that it is not appropriate for you and your spouse. For example, you may hold religious beliefs which do not countenance divorce, you may want to separate for two years before divorcing or be unable to divorce at present as you have not yet been married for 12 months.
Judicial separation is a formal separation obtained from the court which brings to an end your obligations as a spouse. The process is similar to a divorce except there is no final decree ending the marriage. You remain married to your spouse but under no obligation to live with them.

2. Bircham Dyson Bell - Solicitors
We provide assistance in a wide range of circumstances. These extend from advising engaged people on the wisdom of having a pre-nuptial agreement, to protecting the interests of a widow/widower on the death of their spouse. Inevitably, however, the core of our work relates to providing positive and robust support and guidance when relationships break down. We are committed to giving sensible, professional advice to resolve the difficult legal and personal problems which can arise when this happens.
We adopt a flexible, sympathetic approach, acknowledging that different circumstances can call for different techniques. Our family partners are experienced members of Resolution (formerly the Solicitors Family Law Association) and can advise you on the most appropriate way of trying to resolve any disputes that arise, whether by way of negotiation, mediation or litigation.
By working in close liaison with partners specialising in tax, trusts and property matters, we are able to provide a comprehensive service, covering all connected property and financial issues. We have particular expertise in complex financial cases involving family trusts, businesses and international assets and pride ourselves on adopting a pro-active and imaginative approach, designed to secure an advantageous financial outcome for you.
Where there are children involved, we recognise the importance of being sensitive to their needs and feelings, whilst understanding that often positive and decisive action may be in their best interests. We have significant experience of advising international families with links to a number of different countries.
We advise cohabitees as well as married couples, working within the more restrictive procedures that exist to find solutions for people whose relationships are not governed by divorce legislation.
Our mission is to provide the highest quality personal service and value to our clients.
We are a Central London law firm with a forward-looking approach and a rich history. We embrace the future without forgetting our past. In many ways our office reflects the personality of our firm: built from stone to outlast us all, yet contemporary and technologically up-to-date on the inside. We like to think of ourselves as a modern classic ? offering our clients the best of both worlds.
Whatever your requirements, a dedicated partner will be available to give you personal attention, working with you to ensure we deliver quality results. This is a tradition we have continued, because our clients tell us this is what they want.
We work to first class standards and your needs are our top priority. We devote our skills and experience to creating the right solution for each client - and to delivering on time. We are proud of the work we do and the results we get, and just as we establish a close relationship with each client, so we are open about our fees. We will always discuss the basis of our charges with you and let you know if circumstances change.
We have a flexible, responsive approach, bringing years of specialist experience and the highest standards to meeting your needs. A dedicated partner will give you attentive support and consistent advice throughout. The success of this dedication can be measured by the quality of the results we deliver.

3. Glazer Delmar - London Solicitors UK
The members of our family department know that when problems arise within families they must be dealt with sensitively, sympathetically and efficiently.
We take a conciliatory approach towards relationship breakdown. And, if your case is suitable, we will always recommend mediation as a way to a speedy, amicable resolution. Mediation enables you to sit down and discuss your problems with an impartial person. Hopefully you'll resolve them without the need to go to court.
If, however, an amicable solution cannot be reached, then we are prepared to be firm and to assist you in seeking the court's help. Wherever possible, though, we avoid court action, which can prove stressful and costly to you.
As one of south east London's largest law firms, we're able to offer you a wide range of top-quality legal support and advice.
We're approachable, yet always professional. We're reliable, consistent and each of us has a genuine desire to exceed your expectations.
And although our newly-refurbished air-conditioned offices are just a few minutes from central London, we're able to provide you with a great value service.

7. Child & Child Solicitors London England
The firm has been committed to family law as an element of its services for many years. Our philosophy is to approach matrimonial disputes on an amicable and conciliatory basis, wherever possible. Where the diplomatic approach proves unsuccessful, we will take forceful action to ensure our clients' interests are properly protected.
Occupation orders deal with individual rights of occupation of a property and can be made in terms which exclude the Respondent from all or part of the home and in some cases an area surrounding the home. An occupation order can also be made to confirm that an Applicant has the right to live in the home. When deciding whether to grant an occupation order, the court will consider all the circumstances of the case which will include the need to secure the health, safety and welfare of the Applicant and any relevant child. As an occupation order can have very serious consequences for the Respondent, very stringent tests are applied. In extreme circumstances, it is possible for an occupation order to be made on a without notice basis and in appropriate cases, the court can attach a power of arrest to an occupation order.
The Children Act gives the court the power to make orders in respect of any child or children as to residence (with whom the child should live) or contact (whether the child should have contact with the other parent or any other party and if so when). Orders for contact may be defined as to frequency of contact and may if necessary specify arrangements for collection and return of the child/children. Applications for residence or contact can be made by other people besides the mother and father of the child e.g. grandparents. The court also has the power to make other orders namely Prohibited Steps Orders and Specific Issue Orders. A Prohibited Steps Order will limit how and when certain parental rights and duties can be exercised. A Specific Issue Order will contain directions to resolve a particular issue in respect of a child, which is in dispute.

8. International Family Law Chambers
The lawyers at International Family Law Chambers practise family law exclusively and have special expertise in matters concerning international law. Our team includes lawyers qualified in England and Wales, Australia, the United States, Germany and Sweden. In addition, our personal links with the best family law specialists around the world give us unparalleled access to expert advice from almost any country.
Divorce, separation and other family law problems need to be resolved sensibly and effectively. Financial, legal and emotional issues must be identified and managed if effective resolution is to be achieved. When international factors complicate matters expert guidance is essential from the outset. If divorce or other legal proceedings are started in the wrong country the whole family may suffer.
Our lawyers practise in all areas of matrimonial and family law work, including divorce, finances (maintenance and property), child custody and access (residence and contact), international child abduction (Hague and European Conventions) and preparing pre-marriage contracts. We have particular expertise in complex financial disputes where off-shore assets are in issue, especially where questions of choice of jurisdiction and forum arise.
In international cases our ability to advise on whether, where and when to either sue or settle is, we believe, not matched elsewhere.
