Compassionate Child & Family Legal Expertise Matters  

Our family lawyers in Southampton have extensive experience with child custody, visitation rights, and parental responsibility.  

We always place the best interests of the child at the centre of every decision and act quickly in urgent matters such as child abduction and international relocation disputes to safeguard your family. 

We also recognise the emotional strain that separation places on parents and children. That’s why, alongside clear legal guidance, we connect clients with therapists, coaches, and parenting support groups, ensuring families receive both practical and emotional support throughout the process. 

Safeguard Your Finances with Our Divorce Team 

Our team works closely with in-house accountants to give you a clear picture of your finances during divorce or separation. We explain complex issues like tax, property, business valuations, accounts, and pensions in simple terms, so you understand your options and can make informed decisions. 

We help a wide range of clients, from families with significant wealth to parents managing household budgets. Led by Managing Partner Liza Gatrell, we tailor solutions to your situation and goals. Whether through negotiation or in court, we focus on protecting your assets and securing the best possible financial outcome

Guidance and assistance from Southampton family lawyers

Our divorce solicitors are well-known for their expertise in litigation, but we understand that the traditional court process can be time-consuming, expensive, and emotionally draining. Therefore, we offer alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods to help our clients reach amicable solutions in a less adversarial way. Our ADR routes include mediation, arbitration, and collaborative law, which are effective dispute resolution options regarding finances, child custody, and other family issues. We always strive to find the best possible resolution for our clients while minimizing the stress and expense involved in the legal process.

Our network of family support professionals includes coaches, therapists, and parenting groups, who can offer additional guidance and assistance to help our clients navigate the emotional aspects of divorce. Our goal is to provide comprehensive support to our clients, ensuring that they receive the best possible outcomes in all aspects of the divorce process.
