Our approach
- Arrangements for children come first.
- We negotiate where we can and litigate where we must.
- Costs are discussed openly at every stage.
Common questions
- Do we have to go to court?
- Usually not. Most matters settle through negotiation or mediation, and agreements reached between you tend to be more durable.
- How long does a financial settlement take?
- It depends on disclosure and the complexity of assets. We give you a realistic timetable once we have seen the position.
