Family matters need a solicitor who is both technically rigorous and genuinely sensitive to what you are going through. Our Bromley family law solicitors aim to resolve issues constructively where possible — and to fight your corner firmly where necessary.
Family disputes rarely benefit from escalation. Wherever possible we encourage clients to use solicitor-led negotiation, mediation or collaborative law to reach an agreement that they own, rather than one a court has imposed. We are nevertheless experienced advocates if court is the only sensible route.
The best result is one you can live with — and one that, with hindsight, you are glad you negotiated rather than fought to the last.
Family work is typically charged on an hourly basis as costs depend heavily on the level of agreement reached. We give a clear written estimate at the outset and update you as the matter progresses. Fixed fees are available for some discrete services such as drafting a consent order or pre-nup.
Most applicants for a court order in family proceedings must first attend a MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting) unless an exemption applies. Mediation itself is not compulsory, but it is often a faster and cheaper route to resolution.
Under the no-fault divorce regime, the minimum time from application to final order is around 26 weeks. Resolving financial matters and child arrangements often takes longer and runs alongside the divorce process.
Not necessarily. Many cases — especially financial matters — are resolved by negotiation, mediation or arbitration without contested court hearings. Where court is necessary, the process is usually staged so there is opportunity to settle along the way.
