Family lawyers & divorce solicitors York

Our family law team of divorce lawyers and family solicitors in York is led by Managing Partner Chris Birch. We can be found in Tower House on Fishergate.

We support families across the York area going through a relationship break-up including divorce, cohabitation disputes, breakdown of civil partnerships, resolving financial issues and making arrangements for children. We also advise British ex-pats and overseas nationals who currently live in the UK, or have lived in recent years looking to divorce.

Whether your marriage or relationship has broken down, we give expert guidance in an accessible and easy to understand way, on getting divorced and ending civil partnerships while protecting children and family finances, along with all of the associated legal processes.

Every case is unique so we tailor our service to the clients’ needs. We believe in a holistic approach to alleviate stress and work with empathy to secure the most cost-effective outcome, ideally settling out of court. However, our experience has taught us that at times, a court hearing is required and the team has a strong and robust approach to litigation.

Many of our family solicitors are Resolution Accredited Specialists, and we always provide the best divorce lawyer to meet your specific needs.
