We adopt a constructive and conciliatory approach to resolving family problems arising from any relationship breakdown.

We offer advice in all areas of family and divorce law and issues arising from relationship breakdown, including:
- Contested and uncontested divorce proceedings - To get a divorce you must show that your marriage 'has broken down irretrievably'. Our specialist family soliciotrs can help your through your divorce proceedings.
- Separation - Whether separation is permanent or on a trial basis, we can help by formalising details of the separation in a Separation Agreement or Deed of Separation.
- Arrangements for children - At Ramsdens, we have extensive expertise in handling cases surrounding children and in representing parents, grandparents and other family members in difficult custody disputes.
- Financial arrangements on separation and divorce - Dividing the assets can often be the most difficult part in divorce, at Ramsdens we can help negotiate ensuring you get the fairest settlement.
- Pre-nuptial Agreements - A 'pre-nup' is a formal agreement entered into by a couple before marriage and it sets out what will happen to their assets should they divorce.
- Collaborative law - Collaborative law is an alternative, for those seeking a more personal and effective way of managing their divorce.
- Mediation - Family mediators understand that when a relationship breaks down, the thought of talking face to face can seem the hardest thing to do. Trained mediators can help the process by keeping the communication channels open and working with couples together to reach the right decisions about their futures.
