Family

The breakdown of a marriage or relationship can be traumatic, causing worry and uncertainty. Difficult questions can arise in relation to property, finance and children.

At Boyce Hatton we have a specialist team of family lawyers who will help you find answers to these questions and, in doing so, give professional advice that is clear, comprehensive and sympathetic.

Divorce and Relationship Breakdown

We recognise that marriage and relationships breakdown for a variety of reasons. Sometimes the parties are able to deal with the breakdown on an amicable basis, sometimes they are not. Whatever the circumstances, we will help you deal with that breakdown in the most positive and constructive way possible.

Financial Matters

What am I entitled to? Can I remain in the family home? Will I be paid a once and for all sum of money or can I expect some form of ongoing financial payment? These are just some of the questions that may be asked following the breakdown of a marriage or relationship. We have extensive expertise of assisting parties in resolving these issues and in particular we have experience in dealing with complex cases involving high value assets.

Children

Most separating couples recognise that the interests of the children should come first and are therefore able to agree matters in a way that gives effect to this. Sometimes agreement is not possible and in these circumstances we can help you to resolve issues relating to residence and contact.

Positive and Constructive

We actively promote and support the aims and objectives of Resolution, a body of specialist family lawyers who seek to encourage the settlement of family disputes in a constructive, non-confrontational way.

Urgent Action

There are times when emergency action has to be taken to protect yourself, your children or your property. In these circumstances we will do our utmost to respond quickly and efficiently.

Costs and Fees

In order that you may plan your affairs properly we will be open and clear about our costs and fees in advance. You may be entitled to help with costs through the public funding section of the Community Legal Service. We are always happy to speak to you on the telephone, initially without charge.
