The importance of mediation in family & matrimonial cases
We place great emphasis on the importance of the mediation process.
Our family law solicitors focus on helping couples settle disputes in a constructive and cooperative way. Prioritising out-of-court solutions, we aim to minimise the need for legal proceedings wherever possible. This is accomplished through open discussions and mediation, ensuring both parties work towards a fair resolution.
When Family Court becomes inevitable
However, if litigation becomes unavoidable, you can expect strong, decisive representation that vigorously protects your interests.
Our family law solicitors share parents’ view that the needs of the child are priority
If you are a parent, we share your view that the needs of your child are the top priority. We can help facilitate an agreement on arrangements for children that are acceptable to everyone. We can also help you reach a formal financial settlement and organise the division of assets such as property, investments and pensions.
Our family & matrimonial solicitors advise a diverse range of families, both from Northern Ireland and those who have moved here from abroad.
We have handled numerous complex and high-net-worth divorce cases, bringing substantial expertise to these matters. However, we are equally experienced in representing families with more modest incomes.
We specialise in assisting families across Northern Ireland, including those who have relocated here from abroad. We understand the unique challenges that can arise for international families, such as navigating different legal systems or dealing with cross-border issues.
