Family Law

The main area of expertise is Family Law, dealing with problems which arise whenever a couple's relationship breaks down. When this happens I help clients to deal with:

• Children - Residence and Contact Problems (formerly Custody and Access) and Parental Responsibility
• Property - helping to divide the assets after separation
• Maintenance - for children and spousal maintenance
• Divorce - making a difficult time as easy as possible
• Civil partnerships
• Cohabitation
• Separating Couples, especially where there is a house involved
• Relatives - helping relatives, especially grandparents, after separations
• Pre-Nuptial Agreements

I have gained detailed knowledge of these matters ever since I started training as a lawyer in Bradford in 1975. It takes years of experience to develop the proper attitude to clients and their separated partners to bring about as good an outcome as possible. Cases range from the consensual divorce which runs like clockwork to the very acrimonious arguments about children and property which require very careful handling.

I am a member of Resolution an organisation of family law specialists whose aim is to reduce the pain of separating couples and their families whilst ensuring fair outcomes for all involved.

Whatever your requirements you can be sure that I will give you sensible advice and work hard to get the best for you.
