01 / YOUR SITUATION

Family Law solicitors
in Belfast.

Family difficulties can involve some of the most personal decisions you will make. We approach enquiries with discretion, clear explanations and attention to the circumstances that make your situation individual.

Family and relationship difficulties can be personal and complex. We provide practical legal support with an emphasis on sensitive communication and clear choices.

02 / FOCUSED SUPPORT

Space to consider your next chapter.

The first conversation is an opportunity to explain your concerns, the arrangements currently in place and what you would like advice about. We discuss the relevant issues, any immediate priorities and the information needed to consider the work ahead. Your questions are part of that conversation.

  • Separation and divorce enquiries
  • Arrangements involving children
  • Financial and related family matters
  • Understanding correspondence and documents
  • Exploring options and planning the next step
03 / BEFORE WE TALK

A useful starting point.

You do not need to have everything ready before making contact. If available, the following information can help us understand your enquiry:

  • A brief outline of your family circumstances
  • Any court papers or correspondence received
  • Details of relevant arrangements or agreements
  • A note of urgent concerns, dates and questions

Mention any approaching dates when you call. For an urgent matter, telephone the office rather than relying on email.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Questions about getting started.

Every matter is different. We can discuss the details of your situation when you get in touch.

Ask us a question
01Do I need to have decided what to do before making contact?

No. You can seek advice while you are considering your options. Explain your circumstances and the decisions you are facing. We can discuss the issues you would like help understanding before you take further steps.

02What happens at the first appointment?

We discuss your circumstances, review the information available and identify the questions that need attention. It is also an opportunity to ask about the proposed work, communication, likely next steps and costs before deciding how to proceed.

03How will costs and funding be discussed?

Ask about costs at the outset. The proposed arrangement will depend on the nature and scope of the work and your circumstances. We can discuss the basis of the work and any relevant funding questions before you instruct us.
