Talk to a lawyer todayWhat is a family law solicitor?
A family law solicitor is a legal person who provides legal advice on issues related to family relationships including divorce and separation as opposed to employment law solicitors Reading who advise employees and employers. They practice family law and so, they help individuals dealing with stressful situations and conflicts. This can occur in front of a judge through a court case, or an alternative form of dispute resolution, negotiation, and other ways depending on the situation.
What areas of law does a family law solicitor handle?
Divorce
Unfortunately, some marriages go south, calling for nullity or divorce proceedings. Divorces can be complex and stressful for any couple and it is imperative to work with a legal representative with proper experience in this field. From sorting out child care to financial agreements, divorce is a domain that calls for tact and professionalism.
Cohabitation
While this can be exhilarating, there are several things to bear in mind when considering moving in with a person. A family lawyer advises on the available options, helping you gain clarity over who is responsible for what in terms of finances and all other legal issues that come with living with another individual in the same house or apartment.
Children and guardianship
As legal experts who deal with family law, we know the complex nature of the laws surrounding children. Adoption, foster care, surrogacy, and care proceedings are aspects of children and guardianship matters. Whether it is protecting the safety of the young ones or you require guidance and support, a professional family law solicitor can help you understand this often complex subject.
Domestic Abuse
When facing domestic abuse, it is imperative to work fast and safely to make sure that the victim can lead a life free from fear. Usually, it is necessary to provide instant care and services to those living with a physically, mentally, or emotionally abusive partner. Deal with a team specialising in domestic abuse for specific advice tailored to your situation.
Name changes
A family court can help you or your children with name changes. In situations where the child is in the care of the mother following a divorce, it’s not uncommon for them to seek a surname change for both of them.
