Family Law

Today’s hectic lifestyles place a great strain on relationships, families and private life – and the results can often lead to difficulty, arguments and even separation. If you are unfortunate enough to have problems in these areas, it is essential that you have an experienced solicitor who is able to offer effective advice based on your personal circumstances.

With a well-established Family Team, our experienced solicitors are able to offer practical and insightful advice designed to resolve your difficulties in the fastest and most appropriate way. With members on both the Law Society Children’s and Family panels, our team has specialist skills within family law and can tailor our services to meet the most complex and sensitive requirements.

As family matters often arise unexpectedly, we have developed systems that allow us to react very quickly, often seeing clients the same day or very soon after an incident has occurred. Committed to reaching a fair and cost effective solution to all your family related problems, our advice will consider issues from financial implications and property to children and domestic violence.

It is our intention to promote a constructive and conciliatory resolution.

Specialist Family areas include:

Relationship difficulties and privacy issues by their very nature are emotionally upsetting and stressful occasions. Responding quickly with clear, pragmatic advice in a sensitive manner, we work harder to find a practical solution that resolves your family issues while keeping stress to an absolute minimum.

Collaborative Law

The Collaborative Family Law process is a relatively new way of dealing with family disputes. Each person appoints their own lawyer but instead of conducting negotiations between you and your partner by letter or phone you meet together to work things out face to face.

Each of you will have your lawyer by your side throughout the entire process and therefore you will benefit from legal advice as you go. The aim of collaborative law is to resolve family disputes without going to court.

Collaboration lawyers are specially trained in this process and we at Henry Hyams can offer you the service of a collaboration lawyer if you feel it's the way you would wish to approach dealing with the end of your relationship. If this is something that you would like to discuss please contact Helen Camidge.
