family and divorce expertise
We find that most difficulties can be resolved by negotiation. That said, we can and do represent clients in court proceedings, if necessary.
Also, pre-nuptial agreements are now commonly accepted, in law as well as in practice. Protecting family assets can be particularly important for couples who are about to live together and share finances. Contact Heckford Norton if this is of interest.
As many people now cohabit rather than marry, we’re experienced in dealing with relationship breakdown where couples are unmarried. The breakdown of a cohabiting relationship can often involve financial and property disputes, as well as matters concerning children.
Heckford Norton can help these matters, as well as all other aspects of family and divorce law.
Broader legal areas that may be relevant include:
- civil partnerships
- advice for grandparents
- pre-nuptial agreements
