As the leading family solicitor Manchester offers we’re proud of the help we give to our clients. Dealing with issues such as wills and probate, divorce and domestic abuse means dealing with clients coping with some of the most stressful life events they have ever had to deal with. As a family solicitor Manchester we always make sure we offer legal advice which is up to the minute and highly relevant, but we do much more than this. We always go out of our way to explain exactly what a case involves in clear, jargon-free English, and to offer emotional as well as legal support. Being a family solicitor Manchester means helping people find a resolution to often complex problems, and if we can do that without having to involve the courts then we’ll always endeavour to do so.
Our work as a family solicitor Manchester covers virtually every aspect of family life, from the joys of adopting a child through to the grief of losing a loved one and being faced with complexity of the probate process. Whether you’re writing a will or acting as executor on the will of a loved one, as a family solicitor Manchester we can help you through the process, and when it comes to daunting experiences such as dealing with social services, we’ll be on hand to explain exactly what your rights and responsibilities are and to liaise between you and the authorities.
In addition to the services already mentioned we can help clients planning a divorce or the dissolution of a civil partnership, whether that means simply filling in the required paperwork correctly or helping to negotiate a financial settlement dealing with complex financial entanglements. If you’re thinking of formalising a relationship we can help to draft a prenuptial or cohabitation agreement, and as a family solicitor Manchester we’ll always do everything we can to help all parties arrive at an amicable agreement, rather than having to fight things out in court.
This is particularly the case when it comes to children disputes. Our work in divorce and separation cases has taught us that the most fraught issue – even more so than any financial disagreements involved – is often the question of how the children from a relationship will live post separation. We know that in the best case scenario both parents will work amicably to arrive at solutions which are the best for the welfare of the children involved, but we also know that the bitterness and anger that often accompanies the end of a relationship can easily colour the discussions and make agreement difficult. That’s why we always encourage clients involved in children disputes to seek mediation to settle any questions they have to agree on. Issues being discussed could include the following:
- Where the child will live
- How often they will see the non-residential parent
- Under what circumstances this access will take place
As a family solicitor Manchester we know that it is not always possible to reach agreements on matters of this kind, and if court proceeding are necessary then our expertise in Child Law – we have solicitors who are members of the Law Society’s specialist accredited Children Panel – will ensure that we offer the very best in support and representation. We are also experienced in dealing with those cases which, sadly, involve child protection issues around problems such as domestic violence and drug and alcohol abuse. When needed, we can help clients with urgent applications for court orders to protect a child. We are also one of the few UK family solicitors still undertaking Legal Aid work, and will operate on this basis for any clients who are eligible.
