Ease family law concerns
Anderson Fyfe's family law team offers a wealth of expertise and experience, bringing clear and certain advice to bear in what can be a difficult time. Our solicitors understand that family issues are complex and sensitive, and will do their best to support you as part of their service.
In addition to advising on your legal options, we will aim to help you with additional support where we can, and may direct you to counselling organisations or support services where they could be of help.
Our advice includes reliable help with the following matters:
- Divorce
- It is an unfortunate reality that, sometimes, a marriage can breakdown. When it does, you need careful, considered advice to ensure that the resulting issues are addressed in as blame free a manner as possible. Anderson Fyfe can advise on all issues associated with a divorce, including the terms of any separation agreement, the division of assets, pensions and custody.
- Civil partnerships
- Recent changes in the law allow for same sex relationships to have the same legal status as marriage. With this benefit, comes the corresponding risk that a relationship can breakdown and legal issues will have to be addressed. Anderson Fyfe can advise on all aspects of civil partnerships.
- Pre-marital agreements
- Increasingly, couples are keen to enter into an agreement outlining what they want to happen with their assets should their relationship breakdown. Anderson Fyfe's team of family law experts are able to advise on the legality of such agreements, and how they can be structured to best reflect a couple's wishes.
- Children and custody
- Anderson Fyfe's expert family law team can advise on all aspects of family law regulating child welfare, from care orders through to custody and access arrangements.
- Division of money and property
- Where there is a divorce or separation, there is often a claim for support against the other. Anderson Fyfe's expert team has experience in dealing with claims on the assets of one partner, often the main bread winner, by the other. This is especially common in the situation where a woman has chosen to stay at home and raise a family in lieu of building her own career, which in turn would allow her partner to progress in his. Increasingly, the contribution of the stay at home partner to the career of the other partner is being recognised by the courts and Anderson Fyfe can give expert advice on the processes involved here.
