Financial settlements – family solicitors Preston
Our in-house accounting staff will give a comprehensive picture of your marriage’s assets in order to produce the best financial settlement. They have extensive professional knowledge in tax, property, valuations, accounting, and pensions. Our solicitors collaborate with accountants to reach a collaborative law solution in which money and other difficulties may be resolved.
Our North West office group now spans from Greater Manchester, Merseyside, and Lancashire in the north, through Cheshire, and into North Staffordshire. We have a number of notable lawyers who feature in the UK Legal 500 directory and UK Chambers & Partners as regional experts in their field. Many of the team are also family law specialists accredited by national Family Law organisation Resolution. We are dedicated to achieving the right outcomes for our clients with a pragmatic, knowledgeable approach tailored to each case. Our services cover all aspects of family breakdown, including complex high net worth financial disputes, child arrangements (including internal and international relocation), grandparents’ rights, and private adoption. We are also skilled in addressing modern family issues, such as cohabitee disputes and pre/post-nuptial agreements.
If you are looking to get divorced or separated
Our lawyers understand your situation, including the difficulties and emotions you are experiencing. They also understand how to overcome those obstacles and lead you through the whole process with the greatest legal advice available, as well as by linking you to our large network of support specialists and resources, allowing you to go on and rebuild.
We will begin by listening to your specific circumstances before presenting your alternatives and the benefits and drawbacks of each. For example, if you want to file for divorce, you will be referred to as ‘the Applicant’ once the application is accepted by the divorce centre.
If your spouse applies first, you will be referred to as ‘the Respondent’. The Petitioner and Respondent must do separate and distinct activities at different times. Your divorce lawyer will explain what these are, what options you have, and the benefits of each. Following that, we will look at some great situations that relate to many clients and how we may assist.
Our team of solicitors in Preston will assist you throughout the entire process, ensuring your welfare and considering emotional factors throughout the family law issue. We also have experience and expertise in managing related cases, such as a civil partnership case.

Fantastic service as always from the Manchester Team. Special thanks to Jennifer Hudec for all her assistance!
I would 100% recommend Tamara she’s a wonderful woman who’s kind, polite, friendly and always makes sure she will do her best for you 100% I have no doubt about that. After a few months I’ve had time to have my daughter sleep over at my house every other weekend for 2 nights got to spend Christmas Day with her for the first time and New Year’s Eve and day with her too and looking at holidays for the future and I couldn’t be happier to be able to do this so I want to say a massive thank you to the wonderful Tamara Adam’s!
Going through my divorce was one of the most tiring, emotional and stressful times of my life but I have never doubted Tamara Adams one bit to get me through this. They have been nothing but absolutely professional all the way throughout this process and were always on hand to assist me with any questions and worries I had.
Nothing but outstanding from Tamara.
An excellent team that delivers an excellent service to clients. As a team they work cohesively together to diver a first-rate service to clients. Cases are meticulously well prepared and the quality of care provided to clients is high. They are amongst the market leaders.

Appointing the best solicitor for your situation
While our family solicitors are knowledgeable and experienced in all family law matters. Some of them have been involved in cases with unique elements or case law that could be more relevant to your situation. For example some of our family law solicitors have a very strong focus on child law including special guardianship orders, international child abduction and Hague Convention. Some of our solicitors have dealt in matters with cryptocurrency elements and offshore trusts. Others are specialists in assisting professional sports people or families with farming and agricultural businesses.
Because this law firm specialises in divorce and separation, and with so many family solicitors across the country, your solicitor has an unrivalled support network to tap into if needed.

How long will your divorce take?
In England & Wales, for straightforward divorce cases, the process can take between 6 – 8 months. On average, the whole process takes approximately one year. Longer than 12 months is common for cases where there are drawn out disagreements on child and financial matters. It is impossible to predict exactly how long a divorce will take, though a good a divorce lawyer will help give you an educated estimate.
