When facing a family breakdown, you need a solicitor who can provide robust legal protection. Our expert family law solicitors are specialists in using court orders to protect your children, your finances, and your personal safety, giving you the security to move forward.
Family legal protection is not an abstract concept; it is achieved through specific, powerful court orders that we can help you obtain. Our expertise covers the full range of protective measures available under UK family law.
We use Child Arrangement Orders to provide stability, and Prohibited Steps Orders to prevent a child from being removed from your care or taken abroad without consent.
Protect Your ChildrenWe can take urgent action to secure a Non-Molestation Order to stop harassment or an Occupation Order to secure your right to live in your home.
Protect Your SafetyWe protect your long-term future by securing a legally binding Clean Break Order, preventing your ex-partner from making a claim against your assets years after you separate.
Protect Your Finances
Our approach is to act as your shield during a difficult time. We don't just react to problems; we anticipate them. We work proactively to put the strongest legal protections in place for your family and finances, giving you the confidence and security to move forward.
An injunction is a powerful court order that either stops someone from doing something (a Prohibitive Order) or requires them to do something (a Mandatory Order). In family law, they are used to provide urgent protection, for example, to stop harassment or to regulate who lives in the family home.
The only way to guarantee your protection is with a legally binding Financial Consent Order that includes a 'clean break' clause. Without this, your ex-spouse's financial claims remain open indefinitely, putting your future assets, pensions, and even inheritance at risk.
If you have a genuine fear that the other parent may take your child out of the UK without your consent, we can make an urgent application to the court for a Prohibited Steps Order. This legally prevents the removal of the child from the country and can involve lodging their passport with the court.

We understand that cost is a major concern. We provide a clear estimate of costs from the very beginning. For many of our services, such as the divorce application itself, we work on a fixed-fee basis to give you complete cost certainty. We will discuss all funding options with you at your initial consultation.
The starting point for the division of matrimonial assets in the UK is a 50/50 split. However, the court can depart from this based on a number of factors, including the needs of any children, the length of the marriage, and the earning capacity of each party. Our goal is to negotiate a fair financial settlement that protects your future.
A Clean Break Order is a legally binding court order that severs all future financial ties between you and your ex-spouse. It prevents either party from making a financial claim against the other in the future, for example, against an inheritance or lottery win. It is a crucial step in providing certainty after a divorce.
The term 'custody' is no longer used in UK family law. Instead, the court makes 'Child Arrangement Orders' which set out where a child lives and who they spend time with. The court's only consideration is what is in the child's best interests. We always encourage parents to reach an amicable agreement, but we can make a court application if necessary to protect your relationship with your child.
Yes, all parents have a financial responsibility for their children. Child maintenance can be agreed privately between you, or the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) can calculate the amount. The court generally only gets involved in child maintenance for very high earners or for specific costs like school fees.
Whatever your circumstances, our expert family law solicitors are here to provide clear, professional guidance to protect you and your family's future.
