Divorce, Dissolution and Family Law

 

 

No one enters into a marriage or relationship expecting it to go wrong, but unfortunately, that is sometimes the outcome. If it is, you need to be well and sympathetically advised.

 

At Berwins we are committed to providing the best service to our clients and in this particular area we have a long standing record of a quality approach. Our family lawyers, Amanda Briggs and Stephen Root, have many years of experience in dealing with a wide variety of cases; these involve:

 

·         Divorce

·         Dissolution of civil partnerships

·         Separation

·         Maintenance issues, for spouses and children

·         Issues involving the family home, business and capital

·         Residence and contact for children

·         Inheritance claims

·         Pensions

·         Adoption

·         Care cases

 

 

Both Amanda Briggs and Stephen Root are members of Resolution (formerly the Solicitors Family Law Association) a body of solicitors specialising in this area which adhere to a code of practice recommending wherever possible a conciliatory and non-confrontational approach. Both Amanda Briggs and Stephen Root are also fully accredited Collaborative Family Lawyers, a new approach to divorce, dissolution and separation, designed to minimise the destructive effects that a relationship breakdown can bring. Both therefore seek to avoid an unnecessarily aggressive approach, but this does not detract from our commitment to represent our clients fully, thoroughly and to their best advantage. Both are also members of the Law Society’s Family Law panel.
