Family Law

Achieving the best outcome in all family law problems is the central focus of all members of the family law team at Dickson Haslam.

At the centre of all family law problems are individuals who need the best representation and the widest selection of methods of achieving solutions which are right for them.

We recognise that turning to the law to resolve family issues creates a time of huge stress. Whilst we offer a full advocacy service, each member of the team is dedicated to achieving the outcome you seek with the least amount of confrontation. We believe the approach taken to achieve a solution is as important as the outcome itself.

We offer a free of charge initial appointment (30 minutes) with a solicitor during which an assessment of your case will be made. You will be advised on costs, representation and options available to you. The initial assessment can take place over the internet or telephone, by appointment.

We advise and represent in all aspects of family law matters including: 

  • Divorce
  • Financial claims
  • Disputes relating to children
  • Maintenance claims
  • Child Support
  • Mediation
  • Pre-Nuptial Agreements
  • Separation Agreements
  • Civil Partnerships
  • Collaborative Family Law 
  • Pension sharing
  • We offer flexible financial arrangements to help you spread the cost of your representation. 
All solicitors in the family law team are members of Resolution, a national association of 6000 family lawyers dedicated to conducting all family law matters in a manner which reduces acrimony, as far as is possible.

We follow the Resolution Code of Practice at all stages.

A copy of the code will be given to you at the commencement of acting.  

Following your initial consultation you will be sent our "Guide to Marriage Breakdown." This will help you to understand the legal process of whichever family law problem you have.

Telephone 01772 277322 for your detailed guide to marriage breakdown, divorce, children and financial matters .
