Divorce Solicitors

Whether you are seeking to commence divorce proceedings or have received notice of divorce proceedings commenced by your partner and need to respond to these, it is important to seek specialist legal advice as early as possible.

Holmes & Hills has a team of specialist divorce solicitors who will provide you with expert legal advice and guidance from the very beginning. The team is recognised by the Legal 500 for their expertise.

The advice our divorce solicitors will give you ensures your rights and interests are protected from the start and throughout the process. When you contact Holmes & Hills your questions will be answered, including discussing the grounds for divorce and the possibility of choosing a no fault divorce, your case and information treated in the strictest confidence, and your mind put at ease that you are not going through the process alone.

There are many aspects to formally divorcing from a partner and many items to consider which arise from it. These include dealing with the family home, separation of assets and liabilities as part of a financial settlement and agreeing to child arrangements, if there is a family involved.

Our divorce lawyers are experts and can give you the specialist legal advice you require to protect your interests and those of your children, if you have them. Your lawyer at Holmes & Hills will be approachable, supportive and above all will guide you through this uncertain time, from divorce application or response to receiving your decree absolute, by giving you the expert legal advice on your legal position, options and entitlements.

Members of Resolution

A number of our divorce solicitors are members of Resolution.

Resolution members are required to follow a code of conduct which promotes a constructive approach to divorce proceedings and taking the entire familial situation into account. Appointing a Resolution member as your legal representative would be ideal for those looking to settle things amicably.

The code of conduct exists to provide support and guidance through what can often be a stressful and emotional period:

• Listen to you, be honest with you and treat you with respect.
• Explain all the options and give you confidence to make the right decisions.
• Help you focus on what’s important in the long-term.
• Help you balance financial and emotional costs with what you want to achieve.
• Work with others to find the right approach and the best solutions for you.
• Manage stress in what can be an already stressful situation
