Family Law Solicitors & Divorce Lawyers in Maidenhead

Gardner Leader Solicitors have a dedicated team of family lawyers who regularly assist individuals in all matters arising from the breakdown of a relationship including divorce, financial agreements, cohabitation, child arrangements, parental responsibility orders, relocation and nuptial agreements.

The team consists of 10 family solicitors who each have a high level of experience and expertise, from newly qualified solicitors up to senior partners. There is a strong focus on allocating new clients to the most experienced yet cost effective lawyer.

Our focus is to provide peace of mind to individuals who are often experiencing an extremely difficult and emotional time in their lives.

We provide a bespoke service to each client based on their individual needs and we regularly assist clients across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hampshire and London.

We offer a free 30 minute consultation to understand more about your situation and possible next steps. The free 30 minute initiative allows new clients to build rapport with the lawyer without the pressure of the initial cost outlay. This is particularly important given the emotive nature of the family disputes.

Child arrangements

We regularly assist clients in child arrangements disputes and we provide practical advice on how to deal with the dispute in the most amicable, child-focused way.

When parties are separating, the biggest concern that many people have is about what is going to happen to their children following the separation.

It is a very emotional subject to talk about and even more so at a time when emotions are already running high.

If parents are able to discuss directly with each other about the arrangements for the children this is the very best outcome for the children. It allows for a plan to be made which is child focused and works for both parents and the children.

In the event that parents are unable to reach an agreement, parents can be assisted by either a mediator or a solicitor.

The family team are all members of Resolution and as such, they are committed to providing a constructive approach resolving family issues.

As well as seeking advice for child arrangements, it may also be necessary to seek advice regarding changing your child’s name, schools, preventing a child from leaving the country or relocation in the UK or abroad.

The aim is to reach agreement outside the court arena, however if you are required to begin court proceedings, we have extensive knowledge of the court process and can help guide you through this difficult time.

We are available to advise and support you throughout the process. We are available to communicate with you discreetly and in a method that best suits your circumstances. This includes in person, video conferences, phone calls or emails.
