We’re experts in the following areas of family law:

Separation and divorce

We’ll provide you with bespoke advice tailored to your needs, helping you navigate potentially difficult decisions such as childcare arrangements and financial provision, as well as divorce and divorce litigation. Whether you are seeking support with divorce in Scotland or need a consultation to understand your options, we are here to help.

Children

The first priority for any parent when their relationship breaks down is to make sure the arrangements for their children are the best that can be made in the new circumstances. As specialists in child law, we ensure decisions are taken in the best interests of the child.

Deciding where the children will live and when they will see each parent after a separation is understandably an emotional time. It’s vital that decisions are made in the best interests of the child and getting it right is our main priority. We work tirelessly to achieve the best outcome for you and your family.

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements

Prenuptial agreements have become increasingly common in Scotland in recent years. Our family law solicitors have a wealth of expertise in relation to these contracts, which can form a crucial part of asset protection should the need arise in the future. Wecan provide the necessary legal advice you require to put this in place.

Cohabitation and living together agreements

For people getting ready to live together or to buy their first home as a couple, we have considerable experience in drafting living together agreements for unmarried couples in Scotland and internationally. Should the relationship end, it may be possible for claims to be made. Where a cohabitant dies intestate, having a cohabitation agreement in place can make a considerable difference during what will naturally be an emotional time.
