The Family Team at Mayo Wynne Baxter provide specialist and understanding advice across a broad range of matters affecting you and your family. Our family law solicitors will act quickly and effectively to protect your interests with any of the following family law issues:
Divorce and separation:
Sadly, every year around 150,000 marriages end in divorce. The legal process of ending a marriage often has a major impact on all family members, both emotionally and financially. Our family law specialists can help with the following:
Division of capital assets Pensions and their treatment Maintenance for yourself/partner and children Pre-marriage contracts
Cohabitation:
Non married couples who cohabit and then split up face many of the same stresses associated with marriage breakdown. Many people are unfavourably surprised to discover that there is no such thing as a “common law man and wife”. An already stressful situation can be aggravated when it is discovered that the rights between cohabiting couples are very different to those of a married couple. As family law solicitors we can help with the following issues:
Property rights Inheritance and providing for your partner Cohabitation agreements
Children:
Family Law issues involving children are some of the most stressful matters our lawyers have to deal with and you can be assured that we offer sympathetic and informed advice on the following:
