Do you have a family or relationship legal problem?
Families and relationships are evolving in range, nature and format. The laws affecting people’s families, relationships and any children they have are many are often difficult to understand, especially when relationships fall apart. How do you know where you stand?
What family law questions can I get advice on?
Globe Law & Co. barristers include experts on the full range of family law issues, including divorce, separation, cohabitation and civil partnership law:
– Divorce
Your barrister will be able to advise you on the legal procedure to get a divorce, how to get a judicial separation (where the two parties separate but do not get divorced) or to end a civil partnership. They can advise on cohabitation disputes. They are also experts on advising on mediation.
– Financial questions
Almost always, the first issue that arises in any divorce or separation proceedings is how the two partners resolve their financial situation. Reaching a financial settlement may require careful legal analysis and skillful negotiation, which Globe Law & Co. barristers can provide.
– Child support and child custody
If the two partners whose relationship has broken down have children, this may give rise to issues of custody, parental visits and child support. We can put you in touch with a barrister who can advise you on how best to deal with these issues. They are experts in advising in what can be distressing and emotional situations.
– Father’s rights
The rights of divorced or separated fathers to get access to their children are fraught with difficulty. Globe Law & Co. barristers will be able to advise you on how best to resolve issues of access and residence.
– International divorce
The UK has become known as the “divorce capital of the world”, as people in broken marriages in other countries want to resolve their disputes in English courts. Globe Law & Co. barristers have experience of advising on international divorce and can advise on the best course of action to those who do wish to pursue Court proceedings in the UK.
Should you consider mediation?
Going to court isn’t the only way in which you can resolve your family law dispute. Couples and families might be better off trying alternative ways of resolving their arguments, such as mediation. Mediation can save you significant time, money and stress.
