Our family law services in Worcester

Divorce and separation

Lauren Roche is a Legal 500 Recommended Lawyer and one of our most trusted divorce solicitors in Worcester. She guides couples through the divorce and civil partnership dissolution process with expertise. We recognise there is a wait for a date at Worcester Combined Court, but we’ll use this time to finalise your Final Order and negotiate child arrangement orders. This allows us to mitigate potential delays and additional costs.

Children’s solicitors

Our children’s solicitors will support the whole family during their child law case. We recognise that legal proceedings can be stressful, which is why we also offer non-court dispute resolution solutions (NCDR), like mediation. Where possible, we prioritise this option during your care proceedings, grandparents’ rights case, and custody agreements (now referred to as child arrangement orders).

Cohabitation

As family law solicitors in Worcester, our experts can draft a cohabitation agreement to give unmarried couples who live together contractual certainty. Because common law marriage is a myth in the UK, a living together agreement provides future protection. We’ll ensure it is bespoke to your circumstances, covering property, finances, and pets. This way, if your relationship breaks down, you know your personal assets are protected.
