Family Law

Overview

Changes in family circumstances can happen gradually or suddenly — but should always be handled with extreme care.

Landmark decisions about marriage, parenthood and separation can have repercussions for years to come.

Indeed, should things go wrong, those involved are often faced with making major adjustments to their lives when they are in the worst possible frame of mind.

Just as no two families are the same, each particular family breakdown will have its own unique set of circumstances.

Whether it is a separation or difficulties in obtaining contact with children, every case requires skilled and careful handling from start to finish.

Professionalism and experience are the attributes The Glasgow Law Practice Civil Law department can offer those who face such life-changing situations.

Our civil solicitors offer a breadth of experience in areas such as divorce, separation agreements, maintenance, contact and residence.

We have also kept pace with the rapid changes in family law in Scotland, as it stepped up dramatically in 2006 with recognition of the rights of unmarried fathers, cohabitants and same sex couples for the first time.

Together with the increases in property values and the complexities of pension rights, the new changes mean anyone making a decision about a relationship cannot afford to ignore the financial implications.

Change in families is often inevitable. But the outcome doesn’t have to be.
