Early advice is imperative when experiencing family related problems. Mills Kemp & Brown has built up an excellent reputation in the area of family law. By taking advantage of our free initial interview we can provide detailed advice on your legal rights in line with your individual circumstances and needs.

When a relationship ends you will almost certainly need advice from a family lawyer. Married couples may be seeking a divorce or need advice about residence or contact with children in the relationship. If you are not married and do not have children then you may need advice on financial matters such as the splitting of joint assets. Sometimes applications to Court are inevitable where, for example, there are child abuse issues. We can deal with these cases swiftly and sympathetically.

Most couples experiencing the breakdown of a relationship would like to try and keep matters as civil as possible. Where appropriate, we are able to arrange for assistance to help couples come to a suitable resolution with tools such as mediation or counselling.

We understand that this can be an extremely emotional time for all involved. It can be very hard to keep matters in perspective and to make the best decisions regarding finances, assets and children. We will guide you through the process and ensure that you are aware of your rights at all times enabling you to make informed decisions throughout.

Our trained Collaborative Family Lawyer can manage a dignified approach to the divorce process. The collaborative approach, if suited to you, involves both parties and their lawyers agreeing, in writing, to work together to reach a settlement without Court involvement.

There are various options available to you when funding your claim including –

  • Free initial interview (half hour)
  • Legal Help - first stage of Legal Funding (formerly Legal Aid) depending upon type of the matter and financial circumstances
  • Legal Funding (formerly Legal Aid) depending on type of matter and financial circumstances
