We know that ending a marriage or a civil partnership is a stressful time. So we’ll help you protect your interests and make workable plans for the future

Our team will guide you through every stage of getting a divorce or dissolving a civil partnership. No matter how complex or amicable your split, we’ll combine legal skill and the human touch to negotiate, wherever possible, practical outcomes for your home, finances, and childcare arrangements.

If matters cannot be resolved through negotiation, we are ideally placed to support through the court process.

We’ll also offer you the reassurance of a fixed-fee preliminary advice package. This includes advice on your options, possible remedies, and the likely cost of next steps.

Calm, comprehensive advice

Our experienced family law solicitors will support you on all the issues which commonly arise in divorce or dissolution, including:

  • What happens to your family home
  • Which assets do, and don’t, belong in the matrimonial pot
  • Whether pension-sharing arrangements are applicable
  • The enforceability of any prenuptial, postnuptial or cohabitation agreements previously entered
  • How to put together child contact and care arrangements that work in real life

We will help identify the appropriate process for you to achieve your best possible outcome, whether that is negotiation, mediation, collaboration or litigation. Irrespective of the process identified we will protect your corner whilst keeping the process calm so we can help forestall future disagreements and expense.

Cross-border divorces

Matrimonial law in Scotland differs from that in England, Wales and elsewhere, and our team are very experienced at helping our clients through cross-border negotiations and solutions.

We regularly collaborate with law firms outside Scotland on different aspects of divorce, both in England and overseas. As with all our work in this area, we’ll push for practical solutions that help you and your family move on successfully.
