Advising Clients on divorce, separation, financial disputes and disagreements about children?s issues. Our accreditation from the Solicitors Family Law Association recognises the speciality of our Family Department.
We are members of the Law Society?s Family Law Panel and Children Panel and follow the code of practice which helps couples separate without increasing bitterness and acrimony and also offer a family mediation service.
Even if you choose to come to a joint assessment meeting, each of you will be seen separately at the beginning for a short time.
This is for two reasons: First, so that we can complete the forms to see if you are eligible for publically funded mediation. Second, to check that both of you are sure that you could meet together to discuss your situation freely and both make decisions. Ensuring your safety is a priority for us. The rest of the meeting will be a discussion about your particular situation and how mediation might help so that everybody can make a well informed decision as to whether mediation is suitable for you. |

It is an unfortunate fact of life that 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 emphasise negotiation and agreement rather than conflict and confrontation in the application of the principles of matrimonial law to the special circumstances of each individual case.
We can also advise you on family protection, domestic violence, injunctions, wardship, adoption, child and care proceedings.
Richard Reed are able to call upon a wealth of expertise and experience in most areas throughout the legal spectrum. Our team of highly qualified professionals are dedicated to providing you, the client, with the best possible service at all times. |
