Harrogate's Leading Divorce Solicitors

Divorce

When we get married, we don’t think about the possibility that it may one day come to an end. If it does, it can be painful and confusing and we need sympathetic, but professional advice to help us move forward.

More than 100,00 marriages in England and Wales end in divorce, and if you have made the decision to end a relationship, you are certainly not alone.

The process of separation and divorce is usually met with feelings of anguish, upset and confusion, but the emotional upheaval of managing a break-up can also become quite stressful, with concerns arising about the future, finances and the welfare of any children.

Our divorce solicitors have a wealth of experience in helping separating couples reach a settlement as easily and smoothly as possible. We approach every case with compassion and sensitivity and will support you through every step of the process, help you explore your options, and manage any issues that arise to ensure you reach a settlement that is right for you.

Why come to Berwins Solicitors?

Our expert divorce solicitors are highly specialised in providing legal advice to couples undergoing separation and divorce, and will take a compassionate approach to make the process as swift and painless as possible.

Having formed in the mid-1990s, the firm has grown considerably over the years and our family law specialists, led by Sarah Smith, are recognised as one of Yorkshire’s most highly ranked teams for handling family related cases.

We have vast experience in advising clients on family law matters and our expertise covers divorce, dissolution of civil partnerships, separation, financial settlements, residence and contact for children, through pensions and adoption.

How we can help

During your first meeting with one of our divorce solicitors, we will discuss the reasons for the breakdown of your relationship and you will be asked to provide information relating to the date of separation, whether you have any children together, and details about your income, assets, savings and pensions.

We will then discuss with you your thoughts for the future and moving forward, so we can assess how to achieve the best possible outcome for you. In some cases, divorce may not be the most suitable option and separation may be a preferred route for you.
