Family Law

Family law covers all areas of law that involve domestic relationships with partners, cohabitants (either same sex or opposite sex) and married couples. Family issues that are covered under this area of law relate to both the beginning and end of a relationship including: marriage, legal separation, divorce, the rights of children and the rights to property and money in the event of the breakdown of relationships. However family law does not deal with wider family issues such as the care of elderly relatives or making of wills.

Proctor Moore solicitors can offer you practical legal advice on the rights of cohabitants and what you should know before beginning to live together. If you are living together and your relationship ends, you need to be aware of your rights. Our experienced team can deal with all aspects of the law involving relationship breakdowns including capital and income settlements and cases relating to private children law such as child support, guardianship and paternity. We are also able to offer help to those suffering domestic violence. Whatever your situation, Proctor Moore will make sure that your interests are protected. If your separation affects your home, your savings or even your children’s future, we will work tirelessly to help you reach a fair settlement.
