Welcome to Cotswold Family Law

Solicitors providing expert advice on all aspects of Family Law

Divorce, Separation & Dissolution

For divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution, we explain your options and help you negotiate an agreement that secures your future.

Divorce & Separation

Children

If your relationship breaks down, your children need safe homes with people who care about them. We help you make this a reality.

The law doesn’t treat cohabitation as equal to marriage so we’ll help you draw up documents that set out your wishes and secure your family’s future.

Cohabitation

What makes Cotswold Family Law different?

At Cotswold Family Law, we care about our clients and you will experience a personal, friendly and practical service. Family is at the heart of what we do.

It is our job to create lasting legal solutions for you and your family. These will be approved by the court to deliver a binding court order which may be achieved by consent, ideally, or a court process. We aim for constructive negotiation because this is generally more cost effective. When people can’t reach an agreement we will advise and assist them on any court action that they require. We always encourage our clients to decide their own solution rather than have one imposed by the court.

We understand your feelings

Understanding the difficulties that arise within relationships; how emotions and stress can affect people in different ways, enables us to tailor the advice whether that be of a complex nature or a more simplistic one.

Fixed fee initial consultation

You can book an initial, 30 minute, meeting for £50.00 plus VAT. At this meeting, you will meet one of our solicitors who will give you information about all the options open to you. These include mediation, the court process and costs and what your options are regarding children and the family assets.
