We can then support you with all areas and stages of Family Law, such as:

 

Before Marriage

Before getting married you can protect your assets and finances by drawing up a prenuptial agreement. This is an agreement made by a couple before they marry concerning the ownership of their assets if the marriage should fail. For more details, see our Pre and Post Nuptial Agreements page.

 

When You’re Living Together

If you are living with a partner and not married, you can also protect your assets and finances by creating a cohabitation agreement. This agreement outlines what each party is entitled to if the relationship should fail. We can also support you through and unmarried separation where there is no cohabitation agreement in place, and help deal with finances, assets and children matters. For more information, visit our Unmarried Couples page.

 

When You Are Considering Divorce

The divorce process can be highly emotional and often made more complex by differing financial circumstances, any assets owned and situations and relationship where children are involved. Our experienced team of family law solicitors have a wealth of experience handling complex cases, involving both children and finances, and offer a fixed fee divorce package. We also have a Collaborative Law department and can act for clients who are seeking an amicable resolution.  For more information see our Divorce & Separation Page.

 

When Children Are Involved

We know that a divorce or separation can have a tremendous impact on children. If you are in the process of separating or getting divorced, and you have children, you will need to consider the arrangements for their future including whether a Child Custody agreement (now known as a Child Arrangements agreement) is appropriate or whether anything else is required to resolve the arrangements for the children. For more information see our Child Custody and Child Access page.

What Do Our
Clients Say

"I went to Howells for representation in a family matter. I was very anxious and felt overwhelmed with it all but Liz Forrest was amazing from beginning to end! She was very professional, knowledgeable and meticulous with her work and was extremely approachable and friendly. She is honest and kept me informed at every stage. Liz made the most stressful time of my life bearable and I would recommend her to anyone going through family court. The staff at Howells were also brilliant - very welcoming, friendly and approachable."

Family Client

"Going through a divorce is never easy but I cannot praise Alyson at Howells enough. Through a long, complicated and challenging divorce process, she managed the legal process with calmness, empathy and professionalism. I would recommend her and Howells to anyone in a similar situation."

Divorce Client
2021

“Divorce is never nice. When you are in the thick of it and cannot see the wood for the trees, you need people around you who are experienced, professional and also sympathetic to your needs. People who can guide you along the way. Alyson Siddall and her team were every bit of this. Nobody can prepare you for the stresses and anxiety most people going through a divorce will endure. Having a friendly, straight talking shoulder to cry on, with a clear path to an exit is key. Professional to the end, but equally a joy to talk things though with. Many thanks again Alyson. I hope I never go though another ordeal like this, but if I do, I know where to come.”

Divorce Client, April 2021
