Disputes and Family Law Solicitors in Basingstoke, Hampshire
It’s a fact of life that not all marriages or relationships are successful. One out of every two marriages today ends in divorce.
When a relationship or marriage breaks down, one or both parties may want 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.
We will work with you to avoid lengthy, costly and emotionally–draining court cases wherever possible, often by using our mediation and collaborative law services.
