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. Protection of family assets can be of great importance for couples about to live together and sharing finance. Contact Heckford Norton if this is of interest.
As many people now co-habit rather than marry, we’re experienced in dealing with relationship breakdown where couples are unmarried. Such breakdown of a co-habiting couple can often involve financial and property disputes as well as consideration for their children.
Heckford Norton can help here, as well as all other aspects of family and divorce law.
Broader legal areas that may be relevant include:
