Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful answers before your first conversation.
These common questions can help you understand when to seek legal advice and how a family lawyer can support you.
What does a family lawyer do?
A family lawyer helps with legal matters involving relationships, children, finances and family arrangements. This can include divorce, separation, child arrangements, financial settlements, domestic abuse protection and agreements between couples.
Do I need a solicitor for divorce?
You can apply for divorce yourself, but legal advice is strongly recommended if children, property, pensions, savings, business assets or financial claims are involved. A family lawyer can help protect your rights and avoid costly mistakes.
Can you help with child arrangements?
Yes. We can advise on where children live, contact with each parent, parental responsibility and disputes between parents. The focus is always on the best interests and wellbeing of the child.
What happens to finances after divorce?
Financial matters are usually dealt with separately from the divorce itself. You may need a financial settlement covering property, pensions, savings, debts and income. Legal advice can help ensure an agreement is fair and properly recorded.
Do unmarried couples have legal rights?
Unmarried couples have fewer automatic legal rights than married couples. If you live together, share finances or own property together, it is important to get advice about your legal position and whether an agreement would help.
Can I get urgent help if I feel unsafe?
If you are experiencing domestic abuse or feel at risk, urgent legal advice may be needed. We can explain protective options such as non-molestation orders and occupation orders, and help you understand the steps available.
