Family

Divorce/Separation - Family breakdown is an all too common feature of modern life.  It is essential to receive sound and sensibly based advice at an early stage. We have the experience to deal professionally and sympathetically with family disputes.  When relationships break down all aspects of life have to be considered.  Financial advice will be needed about the family home, there could be pension implications and you will need to begin re-building your financial future.

As a Resolution member, our Family Law Specialist Julia Brown is keen to prmote a non-confrontational approach to Family Law issues.  We recognise the importance of preserving ongoing relationships, especially in cases concerning children.

Children Matters - Disputes concerning with whom a child should live are often difficult and distressing for the family as a whole.  Here at Rigby & Company we encourage co-operation between parents and advocate the need to consider the children's needs and welfare be given paramount consideration.  We can advise parents on issues such as parental responsibility, residence and contact.

We can also assist in a claim for financial relief for a child, maintenance and school fees order.

Premarital/Cohabitation Agreements - We consider it imperative that proper consideration concerning ownership of assets is given at the outset of any relationship.  This may seem somewhat unromantic, but consideration of such issues is sensible and practical in terms of protecting yourself for the future.

If you require assistance with any family related issues, then please do not hesitate to contact Julia Brown, a solicitor based at our Middlewich office on 01606 835736 or email: julia.brown@rigbyandcompany.co.uk.
