Your Family

When it comes to family law there are many intricacies with which you may be unfamiliar and need the assistance of a family solicitor. Kent based Gullands are on hand to offer expertise and advice on a range of family law related issues. Our family solicitors can offer expert assistance on all aspects of family law from cohabitation agreements to counselling and mediation and are even on hand to serve as your divorce lawyer. 

Cohabitation

Living together is an important step for any couple, and it might be wise to agree on certain arrangements before agreeing to do so.  We can advise on these issues, including property owned by one or other, or both, of the parties involved, how you share your income and what might happen in the event of death.

Relationship breakdown

When advising on the breakdown of a personal relationship, we will provide a comprehensive service of the highest standard, where issues will be handled with sensitivity and care, and in complete confidence, always having high regard for the welfare of any children involved.

Our solicitors advising in this field are longstanding members of the Solicitors Family Law Association.

Counselling and Mediation

We can explain all possible options open to married and unmarried couples facing a breakdown in a relationship, including counselling and mediation.

Where recourse to the courts is necessary or inevitable, we will explain the procedures and remedies available to you, whether you are considering separation or divorce.

Children's welfare

As the welfare of your children is of the utmost importance in these cases, we will seek to promote a constructive and conciliatory resolution to any problems affecting family members.  We can advise on specific matters such as where children will live, whom they will see on a regular basis, and the financial support that is available.  We can also help in adoption and child support issues.
