Our divorce law services in the City of London

We offer a sensitive, practical approach to all areas of divorce, providing a comprehensive service that allows you to make all of the arrangements necessary to move on with your life.

Divorce petitions

We can help to ensure the process of starting or responding to divorce proceedings goes as smoothly as possible, including helping you and your ex to agree grounds for divorce that will satisfy a court without either of you having to agree to anything you are not comfortable with.

Divorce settlements

Our divorce solicitors can help you agree all the financial details of your divorce, including how joint assets will be divided, maintenance agreements for children and what, if any, maintenance one party will pay to the other. We aim to help you amicable agree a settlement that is fair for both parties, allowing you both to achieve closure and move on.

Arrangements for children

Agreeing where your children will live, how often they will see the non-resident parent and what contact you will have with them can be one of the most contentious issues to sort out. Our non-confrontational dispute resolution team can help to keep this process amicable, allowing you to maintain a better relationship with your children’s other parent and protecting your children’s best interests.

Divorce mediation

Mediation is now the most common way to work out the details of a divorce and you will normally need to show you have at least considered mediation before you will be allowed to take your divorce to court. This is done by attending a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) where the process and benefits will be explained.

Mediation revolves around you and your ex meeting with a trained neutral mediator who will encourage you to discuss the issues you need to agree while diffusing any conflict and tension. You will normally have around 3 sessions of mediation for the average divorce, although this will depend on your exact circumstances and needs.

Collaborative law for divorce

Collaborative law offers an alternative to mediation for divorce with the same aim of keeping the process amicable and avoiding conflict. The process involves you and your spouse both sitting down supported by your own lawyers trained in collaborative law for a 4-way meeting.

Collaborative law is a popular choice for people who are concerned that they have issues too complicated to sort out without the advice and support of a lawyer on hand. We can advise you on whether we think this is likely to be a good option for you and have a number of trained collaborative lawyers on our team who can support you if required.
