Ringrose Law Children Department Sleaford

The Local Authority has a duty to intervene and start Child Care Proceedings if there are concerns that a child is at risk, as a result of the care that they are being given.

At Ringrose Law, we have a large experienced team of case workers in our Children Department. We deal day in day out with families who are involved with the Local Authority and Social Services.

We cannot stress how important it is for you to take legal advice, even if you think you are managing the situation well with Social Services or the Local Authority. Things change quickly and they do have the power to apply to the Court for powers to make decisions to overrule you as a parent or carer for a child. They can only do this if there are grounds that the child is suffering significant harm or is at risk of suffering significant harm. The Family Courts do not take any risks and if there is even a small element of doubt, then they will give the Local Authority the power they need, even on a temporary basis.

Speak to a member of our Children Department

It is important that you inform your solicitor about any problems or aspects of the current arrangements that you are unhappy with and to keep a record of all information about your case.

The Court will then list a hearing called a Case Management Conference, where they will decide what evidence it will need for the final hearing and will make further directions.

We are proud to be Accredited by Resolution as a Specialist in the areas of Private Children Law and Domestic Violence.

For further help and advice contact the Children Department at Ringrose Law Solicitors.

We have offices in Lincoln, Boston, Grantham, Sleaford, Spalding and Newark.

Family Law Solicitors, St Albans

There might be challenging times in your life when a family law solicitor can help:

• Have you decided your marriage or relationship is over?
• Do you want to understand the options to resolve arrangements for your children?
• Do you need a pre nuptial or post nuptial agreement to protect assets?
• Are you moving in with your partner and need a cohabitation agreement?

Choosing the right family lawyer for your circumstances is crucial.  Rayden Solicitors are family law specialists, providing tailored, practical solutions in all areas of family law including those with an international element – divorce, relationship breakdown, child arrangements and financial settlements.

We one of the largest specialist family law firms in the country, with offices in St Albans, Harpenden, Berkhamsted, Beaconsfield, Birmingham, Bishop’s Stortford, Epping, Hampstead and London Bridge. However, we pride ourselves on the ability to represent clients to the highest standards irrespective of their geographic location. Our flexible and accessible approach and paramount client focus means that we are able to meet with you at a time and location to suit you.

The Best Outcome for You | Family Law Solicitors, St Albans

We understand that you may be contacting us in difficult and emotionally challenging circumstances and we are committed to obtaining the best result for you and your family so our expertise and tough negotiating skills are coupled with sensitivity.  Our approach is always strong, kind and highly efficient. We will work with you to deliver the best outcome − it’s a team effort.

For us, a good resolution of a family matter means one where clients can move on without worry about the future.  Whether you are a newly engaged couple starting your journey towards family life, co habitees who perhaps have already started a family, or parents who are separating or already separated, we want to make sure that the process is as pain free as possible, and in the case of divorce and separation, the emotional wounds inflicted by the process are minimized.  In particular where children are involved, we endeavour to help separated parents achieve an agreement than means they can continue to communicate and focus on their new roles.

Divorce | Family Law Solicitors, St Albans

If divorce is the likely outcome, it doesn’t necessarily mean you will end up in a huge court fight spending thousands of pounds. A good divorce doesn’t mean you get a bad deal.  Likewise, a contested divorce doesn’t always mean you get a better deal.

Divorce can be tough and unhappy and the reality is that some couples who separate cannot reach an agreement without the assistance of a court process.  It may be that a business valuation is needed, or there are question marks about one party’s financial disclosure (undisclosed assets), or other financial complications.  There are, however, a good choice of dispute resolution alternatives which many separating couples use effectively to avoid court altogether:

• Direct discussions and agreement reached between the couple. We call this “kitchen table negotiations”.  Each party will usually take legal advice on whether the agreement they have reached is fair and may ask the lawyers to make the agreement legally binding.
• Mediation – this will involve discussions between the parties with the assistance of a trained mediator who facilitates. Mediation is a voluntary process; it needs goodwill and trust on both sides. The Mediator will not give legal advice and you may need a lawyer in the background to give you independent legal advice on the parameters of settlement.
• Collaborative law – in this process all parties and their solicitors meet together in the same room in a non- confrontational way, agreeing not to go to court. The parties set the agenda and have their lawyers involved in negotiations.
• Solicitor negotiations this process is popular and very often successful. Negotiations are by letter (where offers are exchanged) or can be at round table meetings
• Arbitration is a good alternative to the court process as it involves an expert private judge and takes place in a timetable set by the parties.

At Rayden Solicitors St Albans, we have qualified Arbitrators

At Rayden Solicitors we have qualified Arbitrators, both for children matters and financial matters, we also have qualified Collaborative lawyers and a qualified Mediator who is also one of our Partners.  So we are able to offer the full range of dispute resolution options if you need them.

Whichever process is right for you, these are our top tips to avoid unnecessary acrimony:

• Encourage communication and transparency in relation to the family finances. Listen to the other argument and have empathy.
• Focus on the children. It may seem trite but try to see the interests of the children at the forefront of the discussions about outcome and appreciate you may each have different viewpoints.
• Don’t undermine each other’s roles in the family dynamic
• Try not to let the grief of the separation cloud your judgment. Remember that timing is crucial- it may take your ex partner longer than you to be able to focus on the future rather than the past.

Divorce can be tough and unhappy and the reality is that some couples who separate cannot reach an agreement without the assistance of a court process.  It may be that a business valuation is needed, or there are question marks about one party’s financial disclosure (undisclosed assets), or other financial complications.  There are, however, a good choice of dispute resolution alternatives which many separating couples use effectively to avoid court altogether:

• Direct discussions and agreement reached between the couple. We call this “kitchen table negotiations”.  Each party will usually take legal advice on whether the agreement they have reached is fair and may ask the lawyers to make the agreement legally binding.
• Mediation – this will involve discussions between the parties with the assistance of a trained mediator who facilitates. Mediation is a voluntary process; it needs goodwill and trust on both sides. The Mediator will not give legal advice and you may need a lawyer in the background to give you independent legal advice on the parameters of settlement.
• Collaborative law – in this process all parties and their solicitors meet together in the same room in a non- confrontational way, agreeing not to go to court. The parties set the agenda and have their lawyers involved in negotiations.
• Solicitor negotiations this process is popular and very often successful. Negotiations are by letter (where offers are exchanged) or can be at round table meetings
• Arbitration is a good alternative to the court process as it involves an expert private judge and takes place in a timetable set by the parties.

At Rayden Solicitors we have qualified Arbitrators, both for children matters and financial matters, we also have qualified Collaborative lawyers and a qualified Mediator who is also one of our Partners.  So we are able to offer the full range of dispute resolution options if you need them.  Our Partner in our Berkhamsted office, Emily Watson, is a qualified Children Arbitrator.  She can be contacted via email at [email protected] or on 01442 819144.

Whichever process is right for you, these are our top tips to avoid unnecessary acrimony:

• Encourage communication and transparency in relation to the family finances. Listen to the other argument and have empathy.
• Focus on the children. It may seem trite but try to see the interests of the children at the forefront of the discussions about outcome and appreciate you may each have different viewpoints.
• Don’t undermine each other’s roles in the family dynamic
• Try not to let the grief of the separation cloud your judgment. Remember that timing is crucial- it may take your ex partner longer than you to be able to focus on the future rather than the past.

A bit about us …

We’ve been around a while – over 200 years – and we’ve built a solid name and reputation for providing outstanding legal advice. Our lawyers are highly respected experts who get to the heart of an issue quickly, and, importantly, they are trusted by our clients, which is why our people are our greatest asset – they are what makes us different.

We have five offices in East Devon, one in Taunton and one in London, and we offer a broad range of services delivered in a way to suit our clients. We have always offered our clients telephone appointments, but this has now increased due to recent events – initial appointments and advice are mostly delivered over the phone and also via a number of video platforms. We have found that this makes it easier for clients to arrange an appointment around their busy home/work life schedules. It also allows you to sit with a pen and paper taking notes from the comfort of your home, which some people may not feel comfortable doing when in a face to face meeting.

We appreciate that not everyone wants, or can have, a remote meeting and, therefore, we can still offer face to face meetings, whilst ensuring that we adhere to the Government Guidelines.

So, how can we help you?

We can assist you with a range of services to suit your current life stage. In Family Law, these include:

• Changing your name and/or changing your child’s name.
• If you are not married, perhaps you are thinking about entering into a Cohabitation Agreement to set out the agreements between you and your partner?
• If you are engaged, congratulations! Have you considered entering into a Pre-Nuptial Agreement to protect your assets?
• If you are already married or in a Civil Partnership, it is not too late to enter into an Agreement. These are known as Post-nuptial Agreements.
• In the unfortunate event of a relationship breakdown, we can assist with this whether you are married, in a civil partnership, or cohabitating.
• Helping to sort out issues with arranging contact between your child and their other parent.
• If you are experiencing domestic abuse or harassment from a partner, ex-partner, or family member, we can assist.

Ultimately, our aim is to provide you with the peace of mind you are seeking; the security you need, and the resolution of any issues you may encounter.

Outside of Family Law, you may be considering a larger property to meet your growing needs.  Our experienced Conveyancing team can assist you and are able to offer fixed fees for certain matters.  You may also be turning your attention to how best to protect your family for the future – our Private Client team will be happy to discuss how you can put your wishes into a Will.  We also have dedicated Wealth Management and Trust specialists who will be happy to assist you.

Hepburn Delaney is a firm of experienced family law solicitors conveniently located in Hemel Hempstead, serving the local community in addition to clients throughout Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and London.  Our intention has always been to provide a niche, bespoke service to clients seeking advice on a broad range of family matters and we remain committed to this approach.

• Child arrangements
• Parental rights and responsibilities 
• Child protection
• Adoption 
• Co-habitation agreements
• Pre and Post Nups
• Divorce and separation
• Injunctions  
• Financial remedy
• Later life planning
• Wills and Probate
• Powers of Attorney  
• Asset Protection

Hepburn Delaney was established in 2013 by Jane Hepburn and Rebecca Delaney who had worked together for several years before deciding to set up a specialist family law practice.  After 5 successful years, Jane Hepburn took the decision to retire from full time practice in 2018.  We are privileged that she continues to work with and support Hepburn Delaney in a consultancy role.

At the heart of our business is our pledge to provide quality services at reasonable prices. We feel that social conscience and ethical practices are vital. We are therefore one of the few firms who continue to commit to Legal Aid where eligible.

Each client is given a bespoke pricing package and we offer fixed fees for some services.  We are always happy to have a no obligation initial conversation with you if you are unsure in what direction you need to proceed and offer a cost-effective initial fixed fee appointment which means you can receive full legal advice before deciding what to do next.

We also offer online legal advice

•  Matrimonial – legal support through your divorce can be delivered by the team at Hepburn Delaney online/video call and over the telephone.
•  Wills and Probate – For Wills and Probate, we have an array of systems and procedures in place to enable the signing of documents and taking of instructions online and over the telephone.
•  Lasting powers of attorney – An LPA document as it is commonly called is an important legal document which allows you to appoint a person that you trust to with decision-making, or to make decisions on your behalf. As with wills and probate, we are able to effectively support with LPA online or over the telephone.
•  Family mediation – Family medication is a voluntary, neutral way of resolving disputes that may arise before, during or after separation. Reaching an agreement during mediation helps to avoid a lengthy and costly court process. Delivering family mediation online is a practical way to manage dispute resolution as it means that individuals do not have to meet in person

Why Buss Murton?

Buss Murton has been providing expert legal advice in Kent and the South East to individuals and businesses since 1713.  Relationships are at the heart of everything we do, whether working with our clients to understand their needs or supporting local businesses.

Divorce and Separation Legal Advice

Our Cranbrook branch, in the centre of the busy High Street, offers a friendly family law service.  This area of law requires not only the highest level of expertise, but also a sensitive and practical approach and the Buss Murton family team will guide and support you during the divorce or separation process.  We can assist with all issues relating to divorce and relationship breakdown, including arrangements for children and finances.  Whilst many people will require assistance with all aspects of divorce or separation, others may only need legal advice on specific issues and we tailor our advice and support to the needs of each client.  We also advise on pre-nuptial, separation and cohabitation agreements.

Alternatives to Court and Collaborative Law

We understand that some people are concerned that an initial meeting with a family lawyer will inexorably lead to expensive, fully contested court proceedings but we can reassure you that in the majority of cases, this is not so. Although there will always be those cases in which the input of the court is either desirable or necessary, often other methods of resolution are more effective and less expensive, time-consuming and stressful.

We will always consider whether it is possible to resolve matters through negotiation or alternative methods of resolution before resorting to court proceedings.

Financial Arrangements

We are committed to dealing with matters in a constructive way and will advise on the correct approach in order to achieve the best outcome for you in as cost effective way as possible.  Where possible, we resolve matters through mediation, collaborative law or negotiation between solicitors.  However, there will always be cases where the intervention of the courts is necessary and in these cases we work closely with other professionals, such as accountants and pension experts in order to achieve the best outcome for our clients.

Arrangements for Children

We can assist in resolving arrangements for children through mediation, collaborative law, or where necessary, through the court process. However often parents are able to agree practical arrangements, but still welcome assistance in helping their children through what can be a difficult time and we have close links with local counsellors and therapists who can provide support and advice on how best to deal with these sensitive issues.

Next Steps

Margaret Sculpher who is based in our Cranbrook office, joined Buss Murton in May 2020.  Margaret has been working in family law since she qualified as a solicitor in 1995.She is a collaborative lawyer and member of Resolution and has a fair and realistic approach and aims, wherever possible, to resolve family matters in an amicable and constructive manner.

If you would like to discuss any aspect of family law, Margaret offers a free, initial 30-minute meeting to discuss options, costs and next steps. Please contact Margaret directly on 01892 502354 or her secretary Rosalin Pook 01892 502399.  Alternatively you can call us on 01892 510222 or email [email protected] or visit our website at www.bussmurton.co.uk for more information

We understand that deciding that your marriage or civil partnership has ended is a very difficult and emotional time, and that is why we try to guide you through the process by minimising the distress as much as possible.

• You can only apply for a divorce if you’ve been married for over 12 months
• There is one ground for divorce which is an irretrievable breakdown of your marriage
• You must rely on 1 of 5 facts, namely adultery, two years separation (if both parties agree), five years separation, desertion and unreasonable behaviour.

We offer a fixed fee service for an undefended divorce if you choose to act as the Petitioner. There is also a court fee to be paid although you may be eligible for a reduction in this depending on your financial circumstances.

If you are the Respondent in uncontested divorce proceedings, we also offer a fixed fee service.

Financial Matters

• It is a common misconception that obtaining the Decree Absolute in divorce also finalises financial matters between two spouses.
• Even if you have reached an agreement between you, it is important that you seek legal advice and have the agreement recorded in a Consent Order which is approved and sealed by the Court and a legally binding document.
• Financial matters on divorce include property, debts, savings, businesses, maintenance, pensions and investments.
• All of these items will be considered in negotiations irrespective of whether they are in sole or joint names.

Consent order

We can advise you in negotiations and settlements and assist you in reaching an agreement without issuing Court proceedings.   We can record your agreement in a Consent Order, the court fee to file a Consent Order is currently£50.

If you and your spouse are unable to reach an agreement, we will discuss the possibility of Court proceedings with you and issue an application in the Court for financial relief.

We are also able to advise you on pre and post nuptial agreements.

Cohabitation Agreements

When you decide to begin living with your partner, it is often difficult to consider what would happen if you were to separate in the future.

• There is no such thing as a “common law” marriage
• You have virtually no legal rights when you are a cohabiting couple

We can advise and prepare a Cohabitation Agreement when you begin living together, this will set out your agreement regarding finances and what would happen if you were to separate in the future.

Separating from your partner is difficult but a Cohabitation Agreement can ease some of the difficulties as you will have already decided what should happen when your relationship breaks down. This can save a lot of time and legal costs for you both in the future.

Domestic Abuse and Injunctions

If you feel you are subject to domestic abuse, you should seek help immediately. Domestic abuse can be psychological, physical, sexual, financial and/or emotional.

If you feel that this applies to you, we can assist you in making an application to the Court for an injunction. If suitable in the circumstances we can also write to the opponent warning them of the implications of their actions.

At MyBump2Baby is passionate about connecting parents and growing families with trusted family law solicitors. Divorce or separation can be a really difficult time, not just for you as parents but for children to and it is important that disputes are handled the best possible way.

As parents it can be difficult to know who to trust when it comes to finding the right family law solicitors, it could be that you have never been through family disputes when a child or children have been involved before. We recommend seeking advice from trusted family law experts.

Pictons offer a wide range of Family Law, Private Client and Commercial Services

Child Law, Access & Custody

Whatever issues your family may be facing, the welfare of your children must always be your priority. Pictons can assist you in every stage of the decision-making process to achieve an outcome in the best interests of your children.

Separation & Divorce

Pictons provide a very welcome respite from the inevitable emotional fallout from a separation or divorce by expertly steering you through the often-complicated details that follow when a couple decides to separate.

Mediation

We always aim to settle matters by negotiation. Mediation has proven popular as it is not only a more cost-effective way to resolve disputes but also allows for disputes to be resolved quickly, allowing you to move on with your life much sooner than if embroiled within court proceedings.

Pre-Nups, Co-habitation & other agreements

In the first flush of romance, the last thing you are likely to consider is how to protect your assets should the relationship break down. While financial matters are not considered romantic, people are realising that it just makes good sense to protect yourself should the unthinkable happen.

Injunctions

Occasionally, an injunction order may be required to prohibit a person from contacting you or coming to a certain place such as a home address or school.  Breach of an injunction is a criminal offence and can result in the person responsible receiving a prison sentence depending on the severity of the breach.

Occupation Orders

Upon separation or relationship breakdown, if both parties either own a property or have a tenancy over a property, both remain equally entitled to remain in the property. This is obviously not an ideal situation and can lead to additional tension between the two parties. We can offer advice and support.

Change of Names

Change of Names Deeds are documents drawn up to change a person’s name. The Deed is a legally binding document which automatically changes a person’s name and can be provided to a bank, passport office, the DVLA etc as evidence of a change of name.

Parental Responsibility Agreements

A person with parental responsibility can make welfare decisions on behalf of a child such as consent to medical treatment and decisions on choosing a school. Parental responsibility is acquired automatically by a child’s mother at the time of birth and by the father provided he is on the child’s birth certificate.

Statutory Declarations

Statutory declarations may be requested in order to declare a person’s financial position. This could be for the purpose of declaring marital status to confirm that they are free to marry abroad.

Financial & Property Disputes

Pictons can help you to take steps to protect your financial contributions towards a property at the point of the contribution being made. In the event of a dispute arising, Pictons can also provide pragmatic assistance and help you through the court process.

Wills, Tax & Probate

It doesn’t matter what age you are, if you have any assets, you should have a legally binding Will so that your loved ones are taken care of and your wishes are followed when you pass away or if you become unable to manage your own affairs.

Employment

If you are looking to resolve a problem at work and are unsure about your rights, Pictons can help. Whether the issue relates to restructuring and redundancy, disciplinaries or grievances, maternity or paternity leave, bullying or harassment, we can provide expert advice.

Commercial

At Pictons, we also offer a full range of corporate and commercial law services for all your business needs, including Merger and Acquisitions, Dispute Resolution, Commercial Property, Intellectual Property and Technology.

 Family Law Advice from Experienced Solicitors

Our experienced team of family law solicitors can advise you on all aspects of your relationship, including a relationship breakdown, divorce or even a new relationship. We pride ourselves on providing clear, comprehensive and commercial legal advice from the outset.

Samantha Hickman, Partner and head of our Family Law team, has over 20 years’ experience dealing with a wide variety of divorce and family law matters both in and out of court. She is also a qualified mediator so is able to facilitate discussions and assist with resolving  a range of family disputes by  reaching  acceptable outcomes for all involved.

How Can We Help You?

Our family law solicitors can assist you in all aspects of family related legal issues, including:

• Divorce and separation – If you’re dealing with something as distressing and personal as the breakdown of your relationship, it’s essential you get the right kind of divorce advice and legal support. Our divorce solicitors have considerable experience in dealing with divorce and can guide you through the whole legal process.
• Financial advice following relationship breakdown – Financial settlements can be complex with family businesses, pension funds and foreign assets increasingly forming part of the ‘matrimonial pot’. We specialise in resolving complex financial disputes and will work with you to ensure that you understand your entitlement and are left able to provide for your future.
• Cohabitation agreements and advice for unmarried families – Unmarried couples do not have the same rights as married couples. A cohabitation agreement can formalise the financial arrangements between an unmarried couple. If there is a relationship breakdown, our team is experienced in resolving family disputes and, in the majority of cases are able to provide you with an indication of the likely outcome early on.
• Buying or selling a house – We understand that with all the emotional upheaval and extra work involved in moving house, the last thing you need is unnecessary paperwork, confusing legal vocabulary, or delays from your conveyancing solicitor. Our specialist solicitors offer quality, straightforward advice and exceptional service to make your move as smooth as possible.
• Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements – Marriage or civil partnership is not only an emotional union, it’s a financial one and if the worst happens you’ll want to be prepared. We assist with prenuptial and postnuptial agreements and can advise as to how best to effect this in a way which is fair, clear and dignified for both parties.
• Child arrangements – Unfortunately, sometimes following a relationship breakdown, disputes can arise regarding the children. The children’s welfare will be your primary concern and we will work hard to help you agree arrangements with the other parent where possible. We can also advise you in relation to court proceedings concerning children.
• Child maintenance matters – Following a relationship breakdown, one parent may be required to pay child maintenance to the other in respect of their children. We can advise on how much child maintenance should be paid and can assist if a dispute arises in relation child maintenance.
• Domestic abuse – Our experienced and understanding experts are committed to helping the victims of domestic abuse. We will fully explain the immediate steps you can take to protect yourself and any children. Longer term, we can give you the support you need to move on. We can also support those who have had allegations of domestic abuse made against them.
• International family law – Often British people marry, live,, work or own property abroad. Similarly, people from abroad work and live here in the UK. If you are experiencing issues in your relationship and live, work or have business interests or property abroad, our family lawyers are specialists in international family law and will be able to advise you and help protect your assets.
• Writing a Will – Wills are at the centre of any succession plan and a badly drafted Will can lead to costly and drawn out disputes. Our large and experienced team of Will writing solicitors comprehensively consider all of your personal circumstances before advising you on the most tax-efficient structure to protect against the impact of inheritance tax.

We help with a variety of practice areas, including residential and commercial property, mergers and acquisitions, commercial and trade services, employment matters, family and relationship matters, litigation, wills, estate planning and power of attorney, immigration and notarial.

Our family department:

Our passionate family law team has the expertise and experience to provide clients with sound advice during what are often difficult times. We are experienced in all areas of family work, and we offer personalised expert legal advice to meet your needs.  Whether already in dispute or seeking advice on how to avoid conflict, whether you need representation in complex proceedings or advice on how to negotiate your own settlement, Meadows Ryan can help.

We offer advice in all areas of family law including: –

Cohabitation and unmarried couples; we can explain what rights you have as a cohabitee, as these vary from that of a married couple.  We also explain how to enforce these rights and the protections offered to cohabitees through the law.

Separation and Judicial Separation; this can be a difficult time and we aim to make it as pain free and professional as possible whilst still lending an understanding ear.

Pre Nuptial and Post Nuptial agreements; we can draft a pre or post nuptial agreement with you and make applications for agreements made in other jurisdictions, to be recognised in the UK.

Divorce and Nullity; we offer services for divorce regarding finances and / or children. When it is just financial matter, it is referred to as “Financial Ancillary Relief”.

Child related matters include: Child Arrangements orders and agreements, Children Act orders, Parental Responsibility, Abduction, Adoption, Special Guardianship, Social Services involvement, Change of Name Deeds, Child maintenance, disputes over schooling and other issues within the catchment of ‘children’s matters’. An example of this is helping to create an agreement of time split between parents post separation and what each parent will allow, and any concerns can be dealt with within proceedings to make decision legally binding. Our Family Partner, Christian Abletshauser is a member of Resolution and an accredited Collaborative Lawyer.

Civil Partnerships and Dissolution- we can provide specialised advice as to the nuances of civil partnerships, what protections are offered to you within a civil partnership, what grounds there are for ending a civil partnership and guidance on the legal process surround dissolving a civil partnership.

Domestic Violence and Harassment- we understand that anyone can, unfortunately, be affected first-hand by domestic violence, whether that be physical, emotional or both.  There are also laws surrounding controlling and coercive behaviour.

If you are unsure on your matter or simply want advice in confidence on how the law can be used to protect you and your family, please contact the family law department.

Our other departments:

We also have a variety of other departments that are detailed in brief below.

The Property team can assist with commercial or residential property matters such as the legalities around buying and selling a property and tenancy agreements.  If you’re moving your family to new home and already have the packing and children to worry about, let us do the stressful legal part for you!

Our employment team can advise on matters such as dismissal, workplace protocol, negligence and many more instances. In recent times, we have also been asked to advise on appropriate action during and post COVID-19 restrictions, which can be confusing as it is a constantly changing topic.

Our litigation team can assist with a wide variety of matters including agency working in local courts, commercial litigation, contentious probate, debt recovery and property litigation.  Examples of the type of litigation work we take on are: removal of tenants, recovery of money owed to a previous employee and boundary disputes.

Our immigration department works with clients who are applying for residency and leave to remain.  If you have any immigration queries, we would be happy to help.

Our Private Client department can draft your Will for you and / or guide you through what can be a challenging time upon the death of a loved one.

At Meadows Ryan, our values are Excellence, Respect, Communication and Community. Our community is spread far and wide. Although we have a lot of clients from the immediate local area such as Weybridge, Walton, Cobham and Esher, we also have many clients nationwide and internationally. In July 2019, we decided to open our London office to service our growing amount of London based clients.

Family Law Solicitor Seaham

About Naughtons Solicitors in Seaham

Naughtons Solicitors is a recognised and trusted law firm that has been established for over a decade in Seaham. We deliver our exceptional service to all areas of the North East, particularly in the County Durham area, and beyond. Our firm is well known in the local community for providing a comprehensive range of legal services, including family law advice.

Issues concerning your family unit can be the source of a significant amount of stress and financial difficulty, with a lot of uncertainty over what the future may hold. We can provide you with the advice you need to make clear and informed decisions concerning the future of your growing family.

We deal with many important legal issues that should be considered when you are starting a family including:

Cohabitation Agreements

A cohabitation agreement records arrangements between two or more people who have agreed to live together, as a couple or otherwise. We can draft these agreements which records each party’s rights and responsibilities in relation to the property where they live or intend to live together, financial arrangements between them, both during and following cohabitation and the arrangements to be made if they decide that they no longer want to live together. Many unmarried couples enter into a cohabitation agreement to safeguard their own financial security and, in some cases, to protect a future inheritance for their children.

Pre-nuptial agreements

If  you and your partner can agree at the outset of your marriage how your finances will be divided and arrangements for your children if you later separate or divorce, this should save you both the uncertainty, time and stress of litigating about your finances if you do later separate or divorce. We can draft pre-nuptial agreements to incorporate the terms agreed between you and your future spouse.

Disputed parentage

Disputing parentage occurs when an assumed parent denies that they’re the parent of a child. When the alleged parent denies parentage, there are numerous ways to determine whether the disputing parent is or isn’t the child’s parent in question. When it comes to disputed parentage, the evidence submitted to support parentage or non-parentage is essential to aid the conclusion of the matter. The evidence can include; DNA test results from an independent test provider or a declaration of non-parentage which is a court declaration that legally states that you’re not the child’s parent and is a clear piece of conclusive evidence when disputing parentage, especially with the Child Maintenance Service.

The Care of children after Separation/Divorce

If you are married at the time your child is born or you are registered on the child’s birth certificate, both you and your spouse will have parental responsibility for your child which will continue upon separation/divorce. You and your ex-partner can usually avoid going to court hearings if you agree on; where the children will live, how much time they’ll spend with each parent and how you’ll financially support your children. We can then make your agreement legally binding by drafting a Consent Order. You can ask a court to decide anything you cannot agree after mediation or getting other help and we can draft the appropriate applications and represent you at any subsequent hearings.

Redrafting your Will to include your children or new members of your family

Being in possession of an up to date Will is important for every adult in the UK as it is the simplest way to legally document what happens to both your family and your assets once you pass away. Without a Will in place, your estate will be subject to the laws of the United Kingdom which will dictate how your estate is divided up.

We can provide you with the advice that you need to draft a Will that is both accurate and legally binding following the birth of a child, guaranteeing that your wishes will be respected in the event of your death.

Division of matrimonial finances and other financial issues

Where both parties to a marriage are in agreement as to the division of finances, this agreement can be formalised by the court in a document called a “Consent Order”. We can assist with drafting these and once approved by the court it becomes a binding order.

If the level of child maintenance cannot be agreed then this is dealt with by an application to the Child Maintenance Service. The Court has only limited powers to make orders in respect of child maintenance. However, when a maintenance figure for a child has been agreed the Court can ‘rubber stamp’ the maintenance within a Consent Order.

Where there are dependent children, this will be the first consideration when deciding how the matrimonial assets should be divided in a divorce. In practical terms, this means providing a home for the children. Where assets are limited it will usually mean that the children’s carer will receive most or all of the liquid assets of the marriage so that the children can be rehoused.

However, this does not mean that the needs of the other parent will be overlooked or ignored. The outcome will seek to balance the financial needs that both parents have (housing, food, clothing, holidays, etc.) with the available resources, while at the same time making proper arrangements for the children’s financial needs.

Prohibited Steps and Specific Issue Orders

When parents separate, disputes may arise about specific issues relating to the child’s welfare, such as which school they are to attend or whether the child can relocate to live elsewhere (to another part of the country or abroad). If these issues cannot be agreed on, we can apply to the court on your behalf for an order to decide these issues (that is, a specific issue order (SIO)), or to prevent a person from taking certain actions in the exercise of their Parental Responsibility (that is, a prohibited steps order (PSO)).

The above are only some of the issues that we can assist with. Our other services include:

History of Neil Kilcoyne & Co.

Established in 1998, Neil Kilcoyne & co. have over 25 years of experience in the field, providing expert legal advice on matters relating to family law, child law, will writing and all areas. No challenge is too big or too small as our lawyers and solicitors have the knowledge and expertise to deal with a wide range of matters.

We’ll always try to achieve the best outcome for you and offer individual advice that is tailored to your needs. Not only will we look at legal options but also practical options in resolving legal distribution, something incredibly important in family law. We pride ourselves on taking the time to get to know your individual circumstances and guiding you tactically through your situation.

What Areas We Cover

Neil Kilcoyne is based in Glasgow, but we are able to service the entire of Scotland due to so many court hearings taking place remotely. This has substantially cut down our solicitor travel and allows us to take on more cases, and more widespread cases location wise but still offer the same high-quality service.

Our lawyers and solicitors are highly trained and experienced in dealing with all kinds of family law matters sensitively and efficiently. The areas of law we cover include:

• Family Law

Our vast knowledge and expertise enable us to deal with every aspect of family law. As one of the top choices for people struggling with family law issues in Glasgow, we are known for helping our clients reach settlements in a civilised manner that allows them to move on with their life. These services include collaborative divorce, divorce, separation & dissolution, family mediation legal services, prenuptial agreements and cohabitation law agreements.

• Divorce, separation, and dissolution

The breakdown of any relationship can be extremely emotional and complicated, no matter the cause of the breakdown. Our comprehensive legal service is focused on helping you navigate these difficult times with a sympathetic and sensitive approach. At all times, our divorce lawyers will keep their primary focus on finding the best outcome for you and your children. We have vast experience in negotiating financial settlements for our clients and family mediation. 

• Child Law

Neil Kilcoyne & Co. are experienced child law solicitors and lawyers who have worked extensively across the whole field of child law. Child law can include children being accused of committing a crime, issues relating to student attendance, and parents being accused of neglect, mistreating or failing to care for their child.

• Power Of Attorney 

A power of attorney is important at any stage of life because unfortunately, illness and accidents can occur no matter what age you are. A power of attorney allows someone close to you to make your legal decisions for you if for any reason you are unable to do that for yourself. You can appoint a power of attorney to make decisions financially, about your health and decide what powers and decisions they can make if you are unable to do so. 

Appointing a power of attorney can be an important part of having a family, and is common in people that want to organise their affairs after the birth of a child. We can also assist with will writing and estate planning for the future. 

Neil Kilcoyne & co. are proud to offer the very best service and knowledge across family law in Glasgow and across Scotland. We dedicate our uttermost energy to every individual case and situation we work on and participate in legal aid and private work. Get in touch today to discuss your requirements and how we can help you and your family.

Family Law Solicitors Bishop’s Stortford

There might be challenging times in your life when a family law solicitor in Bishop’s Stortford can help:

• Have you decided your marriage or relationship is over?
• Do you want to understand the options to resolve arrangements for your children?
• Do you need a pre nuptial or post nuptial agreement to protect assets?
• Are you moving in with your partner and need a cohabitation agreement?

You Need Experts on Your Side: Family Law Solicitors Bishop’s Stortford

Choosing the right family lawyer for your circumstances is crucial.  Rayden Solicitors are family law specialists, providing tailored, practical solutions in all areas of family law including those with an international element – divorce, relationship breakdown, child arrangements and financial settlements.

We are the largest specialist family law firm in Hertfordshire and beyond, with offices in St Albans, Berkhamsted, Beaconsfield, Birmingham, Bishop’s Stortford, Epping, Hampstead, Harpenden and London Bridge. However, we pride ourselves on the ability to represent clients to the highest standards irrespective of their geographic location. Our flexible and accessible approach and paramount client focus means that we are able to meet with you at a time and location to suit you. In addition, the large team of experts that you will have at your disposal makes us exceptionally cost effective.

We Want to Get the Best Outcome for You: Family Law Solicitors Bishop’s Stortford

We understand that you may be contacting us in difficult and emotionally challenging circumstances and we are committed to obtaining the best result for you and your family so our expertise and tough negotiating skills are coupled with sensitivity.  Our approach is always strong, kind and highly efficient. We will work with you to deliver the best outcome − it’s a team effort.

For us, a good resolution of a family matter means one where clients can move on without worry about the future.  Whether you are a newly engaged couple starting your journey towards family life, co habitees who perhaps have already started a family, or parents who are separating or already separated, we want to make sure that the process is as pain free as possible, and in the case of divorce and separation, the emotional wounds inflicted by the process are minimized.  In particular where children are involved, we endeavour to help separated parents achieve an agreement than means they can continue to communicate and focus on their new roles.

If divorce is the likely outcome, it doesn’t necessarily mean you will end up in a huge court fight spending thousands of pounds. A good divorce doesn’t mean you get a bad deal.  Likewise, a contested divorce doesn’t always mean you get a better deal.

Alternative Options: Dispute Resolution Specialists Bishop’s Stortford

Divorce can be tough and unhappy and the reality is that some couples who separate cannot reach an agreement without the assistance of a court process.  It may be that a business valuation is needed, or there are question marks about one party’s financial disclosure (undisclosed assets), or other financial complications.  There are, however, a good choice of dispute resolution alternatives which many separating couples use effectively to avoid court altogether:

• Direct discussions and agreement reached between the couple. We call this “kitchen table negotiations”.  Each party will usually take legal advice on whether the agreement they have reached is fair and may ask the lawyers to make the agreement legally binding.
• Mediation – this will involve discussions between the parties with the assistance of a trained mediator who facilitates. Mediation is a voluntary process; it needs goodwill and trust on both sides. The Mediator will not give legal advice and you may need a lawyer in the background to give you independent legal advice on the parameters of settlement.
• Collaborative law – in this process all parties and their solicitors meet together in the same room in a non- confrontational way, agreeing not to go to court. The parties set the agenda and have their lawyers involved in negotiations.
• Solicitor negotiations this process is popular and very often successful. Negotiations are by letter (where offers are exchanged) or can be at round table meetings
• Arbitration is a good alternative to the court process as it involves an expert private judge and takes place in a timetable set by the parties.

At Rayden Solicitors we have qualified Arbitrators, both for children matters and financial matters, we also have qualified Collaborative lawyers and a qualified Mediator. So we are able to offer the full range of dispute resolution options if you need them. Marc Etherington, Legal Director in our Bishop’s Stortford office, is a qualified Collaborative lawyer and can be contacted via email at [email protected]. Whichever process is right for you, these are our top tips to avoid unnecessary acrimony:

• Encourage communication and transparency in relation to the family finances. Listen to the other argument and have empathy.
• Focus on the children. It may seem trite but try to see the interests of the children at the forefront of the discussions about outcome and appreciate you may each have different viewpoints.
• Don’t undermine each other’s roles in the family dynamic
• Try not to let the grief of the separation cloud your judgment. Remember that timing is crucial- it may take your ex partner longer than you to be able to focus on the future rather than the past.
