Unfortunately not all marriages or relationships are successful. One out of every two marriages today ends in divorce.

Marriage today is far more complex than it was for earlier generations when traditional roles and responsibilities were more clearly defined. Expectations of each other are higher and depend more on communication, intimacy, negotiation and understanding.

Many relationships go through a bad patch but when a relationship or marriage 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. You will need professional advice to help you through these processes.

Our team at Phillips specialises in all aspects of the breakdown of the family unit, especially when it involves complex financial and property matters and - most importantly - any children. Different fee earners deal with different levels of complexity. We can also work with you to avoid lengthy, costly and emotionally draining court cases wherever possible, by using our mediation and collaborative law services.

What you can expect from us:

  • Expertise in the field you need - our family law team is qualified and we are accredited members of Family Lawyers, The Family Mediators Association and Relate Quality Partners. You can be sure we'll look after your needs with great discretion
  • A good progression of your case - we'll keep you involved, informed with regular updates and work with you, whilst endeavouring to keep the stress levels to a minimum
  • No surprises - we'll give you an estimate of costs upfront, subject to the proviso that emergencies cannot be predicted and, of course, so much depends on the co-operation of the other person(s). We'll keep you informed of changes so that you can keep a proper eye on your budget
  • Before we meet - clients often ask what they should bring to their first meeting with us. We want to reassure you that the most important thing is to bring yourselves and not to worry. However, we do need to gather quite a lot of information about your case and so it can be helpful if you come armed with some essential information - then we can make sure that the time we spend together is most productive for you. Click here to see what sort of information you'll need to bring to our first meeting.
