Family break-up is distressing - and finding the right outcome for you and your children is not always easy. It can be difficult to reach agreement when people are angry, hurt or confused. We aim to help you resolve family disputes by understanding the issues and working towards an agreement using our extensive experience and knowledge of this specialist and highly sensitive area of law.
Children
Family break up is always difficult, particularly so when there are children involved. At FDC Law, you can be sure that you will receive the best advice and, where necessary, representation to resolve issues regarding your children's living arrangements and their contact with you or your former partner. Our experienced team can also assist if you are seeking contact with your step-children or grandchildren.

We always work to provide the best outcome for our family clients and their children as quickly and sensitively as possible. Wherever possible we will seek to use negotiation mediation or Collaborative Law to achieve a swift and mutually agreeable result, and will make referrals for mediation if this is appropriate. We also have the required knowledge and skills to represent your interests in court should such a course of action be necessary.
We offer a free initial consultation (of up to 30 minutes) by appointment at any of our offices
Legal Aid is no longer available for the majority of Family Law cases, but if your case falls into one of the remaining areas where legal aid is available, and it appears that you are likely to be eligible for Legal Aid we will tell you, and offer onward referral to a Legal Aid solicitor if you wish, as this firm does not offer legal aid.
