Family and Matrimonial Law - Achieve an easier resolution to family and matrimonial problems with a strong legal support team on your side

Achieve an easier resolution to family and matrimonial problems with a strong legal support team on your side

A marriage or relationship breakdown means you’re probably having to deal with significant practical and emotional challenges in your life. In addition, you may be facing tough and distressing issues surrounding children and financial matters.

At HilliersHRW our family law specialists are members of the Law Society Family Law Panel or are Resolution accredited. This means that our solicitors have specialist skills and experience working in divorce, separation and family disputes, and take a constructive and conciliatory approach

We offer practical legal advice and support from staff who are sensitive to your situation. We recognise that it can be difficult to talk about some things. That’s why you need a solicitor who will:

• put you at ease
• help you understand your legal position
• take care in explaining things, especially the implications of the choices you make at each stage of the process
• encourage you to think over the advice before making decisions and arranging further meetings

Are you eligible for financial assistance?
Ask us about Legal Services Commission Funding (LSC). If you’re on a low income or are receiving Income Support, income-based Job Seeker’s Allowance or state pension credit, you may be eligible for Legal Help (public funding) for all or part of your legal costs. For some funding we will have to look at the merits of your case. Contact us and we’ll send you a questionnaire, which we can then assess before our initial meeting.

We can also advise on:

• mediation to resolve practical issues concerning children, financial arrangements and property, together with other issues to do with separation and divorce
• setting up home if you’re not married – looking at your assets, rights, children, next of kin status, money, pensions, Wills, cohabitation agreements, etc.
• care proceedings, for example if the Local Authority is threatening to take, or has already taken, your children into care

Call us today on (Kempston) 01234 858035 or (Stevenage) 01438 346032 to arrange an appointment with one of our family specialists or email one of our advisors.
