We can help you all family related legal matters including:
When relationships break down it can be an extremely challenging time for children. No doubt, their welfare is going to be the most important thing on your mind as you sort out your family issues.
The decisions you make now are likely to be some of the most important you’ll ever make.
At PSR Solicitors we have specialist child law solicitors on hand to help you make those decisions. Their priority is to ensure the best possible outcome for the children, whatever the circumstances.
Whether you need advice on child custody rights, financial arrangements, special guardianship orders or relocation proceedings, our Child Law Solicitors will assist you to find a child-focused solution.
Disputes involving children are particularly difficult and will require sensitivity, care and experience.
If your relationship has broken down, and you are seeking closure so that you can move on with your life, you’ll need to apply for a divorce to legally end your marriage.
Many people are relieved to learn that it is unlikely that you’ll need to go to court to get a divorce.
At PSR Solicitors, our Family Law Solicitors use mediation and a collaborative law process to minimise conflict and keeping discussions moving forward positively towards a resolution.
Our family law specialists have a breadth of experience when it comes to helping clients with their divorce and the wide-ranging issues that can arise. Every situation is different so it is essential that you take professional advice tailored to your own particular circumstances
A civil partnership gives a relationship a legal status with virtually identical rights and responsibilities as a marriage. It was first introduced as a way to recognise same-sex relationships but has since been made available to mixed-sex couples too. For couples who choose not to have a traditional marriage for whatever reason, a civil partnership is a way of protecting children and finances should the relationship break down in the future.
Our Family Law Solicitors will make sure you fully understand your rights surrounding issues such as children and inheritance and help you take steps to protect your interests both now and in the future.
If you have decided to end your civil partnership we can also help with civil partnership dissolution procedures.
When a relationship breaks down, it is vital to know where you stand financially. You will want to understand how to approach dividing up the family's assets, what kind of financial settlement you might end up with, and what your financial responsibilities are.
Lots of break-ups become acrimonious and drawn out because couples can’t agree how to split the finances.
Who will live in the family home? How will assets be divided? Will pensions be shared?
We have extensive experience helping couples to reach an agreement about the financial aspects of separation and will provide you with clear, practical and constructive advice based on your individual needs.
We always seek to reach a resolution informally and with minimum conflict through the process of mediation rather than court.
Estate planning is about giving you peace of mind for the future. It’s important to know that you’ll have financial security after retirement and that your loved ones will have the financial support they need after you’ve gone.
By following the expert advice of the family law solicitors at PSR Solicitors, you’ll be able to maximise the value of your estate, and pay online what’s necessary in income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax.
We’ll help you put together a bespoke plan including financial products such as life insurance, lifetime gifts, business and agricultural property reliefs and trusts to create a strategy that works best for you.
The process of non-court dispute resolution allows both parties to approach the issues you are facing in a co-operative manner whilst minimising stress and costs. It usually involves at least one qualified family lawyer who will take the role of facilitator.
The thought of going to court is often a source of anxiety for many of our clients, especially when it involves family disputes.
At PSR Solicitors we put great emphasis on approaches such as mediation to reach non-court dispute resolutions wherever possible. We have a proven track record of success by taking this approach, and the majority of our cases are resolved out of court.
Mediation can be significantly less expensive than going to court and it can help to keep you in control of the outcome. If you go to court, you will have to accept and stick to the judge’s decisions no matter how you feel about them. Reaching a conclusion through mediation also allows you to maintain some flexibility as things change over the years.
We firmly believe that non-court approaches to dispute resolution are the most positive option as it encourages communication on both sides and sets the tone for a collaborative approach to future discussions, particularly important where children are involved.
