Here at Linder Myers our dedicated team of family lawyers will provide you with the expert legal advice and understanding that you will need at this stressful and difficult time. Our specialist solicitors all work to the Resolution's Code of Practice (formerly the Solicitors Family Law Association) which means we do our best to reach an amicable settlement whilst protecting your best interests.

Some of our services:-

Divorce and Separation
In divorce or separation, we guide you through the intricacies of procedure, help resolve the most complex of financial matters and deal positively with disputes which may arise over children. Similarly, in unmarried families we can advise on questions of finance, such as property or maintenance and once again help with problems involving children.

Finance and Property
We are able to provide expert advice on all of the financial aspects of relationship breakdown, be it for married or unmarried couples, dealing with such complex areas as pensions, businesses and properties. We can deal with emergency financial matters such as the preservation of assets, the obtaining of interim financial provision and so on. We can also advise on and assist you with your dealings with the Child Support Agency.

Residence and Contact
Disputes about who the children live with and problems about how much contact they should have with each parent can be difficult to resolve. The arrangements affect questions like 'Who has the right to make major long term decisions for a child?' We will be able to explain which Court Orders might be appropriate in your situation and what their effect would be. Our specialist department has a great deal of expertise in these areas and will provide advice and understanding, whilst at the same time not forgetting that the best interests of the child must take precedence.

Abduction
If you fear that your child may be abducted, either here or abroad, contact a solicitor immediately. We have the experience and resources to act effectively in an emergency. We will, for example, know how to alert Immigration Officers at all ports and airports to the possibility of a child being taken out of the country. There are laws which cover the return of children wrongfully taken from their country. Again we can provide the experience and expertise to assist you. We can also help with many other family matters that may arise including:-

• Domestic Violence
• Prenuptial Agreements
• Care Proceedings
