The last resort
Like marriage, divorce is a life-changing decision. It is a very difficult time for any couple, and is especially challenging for those with children. It is also a legal situation that seems very daunting and intimidating, which is why legal advice and guidance should be sought as soon as possible. Scotts Hall & Birtles Solicitors has a thriving family and matrimonial service, which provides expert legal advice on the family and relationship issues that can arise during divorce proceedings, including children, money, and property. We are committed to working in your best interests, but in a manner which minimises hostility and conflict.
Our team has over 20 years experience in the field of family and matrimonial law, and will guide you through the process – setting out clearly your range of options – every step of the way. We can coordinate mediation, negotiate with regard to shared assets, and work with you toward settlement of child arrangements. We are able to do all of this with sensitivity and discretion, recognising the fact that every case of marital breakdown is different. In fact, we are members of Resolution (www.resolution.org.uk) – the specialist legal association run for and by family lawyers. We support its commitment to resolving family and relationship difficulties in a non-confrontational and constructive way.
Having had a presence in Catterick Garrison since the early 1970s, we fully understand and have extensive experience of the particular legal difficulties facing service personnel – be it in relation to pensions on divorce or separation, or in respect to the potentially tricky area of moving postings, and taking children with you.
Specifically for family law and divorce issues, Scotts Hall & Birtles Solicitors offers a fixed fee 30-minute diagnostic appointment and, should you then instruct us to represent you in relation to that particular issue, that fee can be deducted from your first bill. We know that legal fees can be expensive, and are committed to helping you manage those fees as much as we can.
