Our Family Law services
Our divorce law solicitors can address financial concerns and protect your interests, including pension division and child financial support
Divorce and financesWhether it’s a divorce, separation or dissolution, the welfare of children should be accounted for in a relationship breakdown. See how we can help.
Children and divorceIf you ex is moving your child out of Derbyshire – or you want to move them yourself – learn about your rights.
Child relocation or abductionA way to ensure your rights going forward in regards to matters like your children’s schooling and health is to have a Prohibited Steps Order put in place on divorce or separation.
Prohibited Steps OrdersIf you’re a victim of domestic violence or abuse, we can help obtain injunctions under the Family Law Act to protect you and your family.
Family InjunctionsWhether you’re planning to get married or are already married, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements establish a framework for dividing assets.
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreementsThese agreements cover things like property ownership, pet custody, childcare responsibilities, as well as stating how you will manage your current finances – should you split up.
CohabitationFamily mediation offers a non-confrontational approach to resolving separation issues. It can potentially avoid court proceedings and minimise disruption, especially for children.
Family mediationSpecialist advice for those going through a divorce when the financial and business divisions are complex, like in farming.

Some of our team have been working in Derby for over 30 years, so know the people and the area well.
Where can I park when I visit your office?
Our office neighbours Derby Cathedral, so there is very limited street parking. However, there is the Amen Alley paid car park at the rear of our office, as well as several others within five minute’s walking distance.
If you’re concerned about getting to our office, please ask when you make your appointment.
Do you have access for those with reduced mobility?
As our Derby office is listed – and has multiple stairs – unfortunately we can’t accommodate family law enquiries here.
However, if you do need a divorce or other family law matter in Derby, we can hire a nearby fully-accessible meeting room, at no cost to you.
If I can't get into Derby to visit your office, can you still help?
Yes we can. While it’s sometimes easier to meet face-to-face, but in most cases we can carry out our legal services electronically or over the phone.
Wherever you are in Derbyshire, we’re here to help, advise and support you in your family law matters.
