Talking to a solicitor will not end your relationship but, if it is in difficulties, it will help you make the right decision. We will tell you where you stand legally and the options that are open to you. We can ensure your share of the family assets is properly safeguarded and, if violence is likely, that you and your children are protected.

We attempt to adopt a conciliatory approach and usually recommend mediation. This means that the separating couple meet, under the guidance of an experienced mediator, to reach their own decisions about their children, finances and the family home. We will support you throughout mediation but, if it fails or is not appropriate, we will fight hard in the court to achieve the best possible outcome for you.

Dealing with a divorce can be an intimidating process undertaken at an emotionally difficult time. At Cooper Whiteman, we will do our utmost to simplify the process and reduce the disstress of the situation.
