21. Gwilym Hughes & Partners Solicitors
The breakdown of family relationships, inside or outside a marriage, provides one of the greatest challenge to a lawyer to meet the exacting needs of a Client, who is undergoing the emotional trauma of that breakdown. The Client needs urgent and specialised advice and action on both the matters which he or she sees as important and those which a trained lawyer knows need to be addressed and dealt with to avoid later difficulties.

Gwilym Hughes & Partners has always had a high reputation as a family law practice, dealing with Divorce, Financial Disputes and resolving problems over Children, whether the parties have been married or not. We regularly obtain very speedy Injunctions to protect those suffering Domestic Violence. We have particular expertise, with a member of the Children Panel, in care proceedings, where Social Services are involved with a child, and adoption. We act for parents and, on the recommendation of Children's Guardian, represent the child in such proceedings. We deal with a wide variety of other Family Law matters ? the Child Support Agency, paternity disputes, trans-national matters and represent Clients in all levels of family Courts. We act for all family members including grandparents. We are on the list of Solicitors approved by the grandparents' association. Due to our specialised knowledge of care proceedings, we also frequently act for foster carers.

The expanding Family Law Department is currently headed by Partner, John Lancaster, supported by Senior Solicitor Rebecca Evans, Assistant Solicitors Christine Hughes, Meghana Nagaraj, Legal Executive Terry Law and trainee Legal Executive Jane Edwards. The Department has members of Resolution (previously known as the Solicitors' Family Law Association') the Family Law Panel and the Children Panel.

We want to offer help to Clients in their particular situation. Some need urgent advice and action. Others want to simply talk through the likely consequences of what would happen if their current relationship broke down.

The Firm prides itself in offering a high level of experience and specialist expertise. A team of solicitors, clerks and administrative staff assist the Firm?s 9 partners. We are here to advise and assist you to your best possible advantage whatever the matter, and we look forward to being of service to you.

23. Ellis Jones Solicitors
The breakdown of a relationship can lead to difficult and emotionally charged disputes over children and money.

At Ellis Jones we have a team of first class family lawyers with a wealth of experience gained in central London. They can advise you on how to resolve these disputes in the most pragmatic and cost effective way.

What happens if you and your spouse can't reach an agreement?

Sometimes negotiations are not successful and a stalemate is reached. The only way then to break the logjam is to start financial proceedings. A short form is issued at Court and sets in motion a strict timetable to resolve the financial dispute as follows:

1 A hearing called "The First Appointment" will take place usually 12 to 16 weeks after the financial application has been filed. You and your husband or wife will exchange your financial statements (known as "Form E") at the same time, at least 35 days before the hearing. This statement gives a detailed summary of your finances. At least 14 days before the hearing, various documents are sent to the Court including a questionnaire. This sets out various questions to be answered and documents produced to clarify the finances. The District Judge will decide at the First Appointment how much of this questionnaire must be answered.

2 At the First Appointment a District Judge will fix a date for a Financial Dispute Resolution hearing (FDR). The FDR hearing (at which the parties will be encouraged to reach an agreement) is likely to take place about 2 to 3 months after the First Appointment. The District Judge can also treat the First Appointment as an FDR hearing if appropriate. 3 At the FDR hearing the District Judge will be able to see that proposals have been made to settle the dispute. Some District Judges give their view of an appropriate settlement as a guideline.

4 If a settlement is not reached at the FDR stage, there is a final hearing at which a District Judge will make a decision on the right settlement having heard evidence from you and your partner. Very few cases reach this stage. It is expensive and is only reached if all other attempts to settle the case fail. By issuing "financial proceedings" it does not mean that you are forced to proceed to a final hearing; most cases are resolved by way of a negotiated settlement at any early stage either before or after proceedings are issued but well before reaching a final hearing. There are many opportunities to settle a case on route and both you and your partner are under a duty to negotiate with each other. It is usual that negotiations take place while proceedings are running. The above procedure is only applicable to couples who are or have been married.

We have considerable expertise in this area.

24. Kenneth Bush Solicitors, Solicitors in Kings Lynn, Downham Market, Norfolk
Whilst the main work in this department is dealing with people's divorces, the department also advises and assists in relation to the many problems that arise as a result of a divorce, such as contact with your children. Reaching financial settlements, which may often include detailed negotiations where a business or partnership is involved.

After my divorce, will I be able to take children abroad on holiday? Providing your ex-partner consents you will be able to do so. In the absence of consent, it is necessary to obtain permission from the court. Don?t forget Scotland and Ireland are abroad!

Will my ex-partner be able to see the children, even if I don?t want him/her to? Generally the answer is yes they will. The court will only deny contact between a child and its parent in the most extreme cases, such as ones involving violence or sexual abuse.

Brookman Solicitors, a London based law firm specialising in international family law firm, advising clients in the United Kingdom (specifically England and Wales) and throughout the world.

We are here to help our clients. Whether their problem is manageable or whether it threatens to overwhelm them, we are here to help them solve it. We want our clients to get justice within a just society. We have expertise in a full range of family legal matters including divorce, complex financial issues, property settlements and children matters.

At the start of a separation, the whole situation can look hopeless. You have this awful mess. You are pretty much on your own. You and your partner cannot agree and there does not seem to be a solution.The legal system is designed to break the deadlock and having a good lawyer is an essential starting point. If your partner will not reach an agreement, or obstinately refuses to face reality, the legal process will eventually force him or her to do so. One hopes that you do not end up having to go all the way to a trial, but if that is what is required, eventually that is what happens. It is more than likely your matter will be in the great majority of cases that resolve themselves by negotiation. People don't divorce for the pleasure of the experience. But whatever the problem is, having a good divorce lawyer helping you makes a great deal of difference. We are here to help you.
