Clive is the head of the firm and specialises in Family Law. Clive is a member of Resolution (formerly known as the Solicitors Family Law Association) and was admitted as a Solicitor in 1997. He excels in all aspects of divorce with particular emphasis on the resolution of financial matters arising from separation.
It is vitally important to resolve the finances on divorce or dissolution. You will need to consider both your immediate and longer-term needs for yourself and any children of the relationship. The court has wide powers when it comes to deciding how the finances are divided on divorce and dissolution, and no case is the same.
When relationships break down, one of the issues which you will need to sort out is the amount of financial support the parent with whom your children live will receive from the other parent. It is possible for you to reach an agreement on the level of child maintenance that is paid in which case no one else needs to become involved.
A crucial aspect of divorce involves separating joint assets and finances, including decisions about whether one partner will continue to live in the family home after divorce - or whether the home will be sold and the profits from the sale shared between the couple and any other family members who might have a share in the property.
The financial aspects of a Judicial Separation are similar to divorce, but Judicial Separation does not have the same effect on pensions as divorce. This is because at the end of the Judicial Separation process, the parties are still married. Often, the biggest disadvantage to pursuing a Judicial Separate as opposed to a divorce is that you will not be able to obtain a Pension Sharing Order in the context of a Judicial Separation.

I consulted Clive and his team after failing to solve my problem with a few other solicitors. Clive and Frances ensure that I understood whole process and what's going on. They are not only professional but also friendly and compassionately. After spending five years with them, I finally got happy outcome!. I would highly recommend this law firm.

I am so pleased!
I have been trying to get help for the last 2 month with keeping my son safe and CSL was the first place to actually care and want to help me. NOT push me to the side because I am a father . It has been disgusting how badly I have been treated over the last 60 days, so it is soooo nice to be treated like a human and VAULTED as a father. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

I approached CSL for some legal advice whilst I was going through mediation with my Ex wife. They were very professional throughout and explained in great detail what I needed to do not only to get a good deal, but also to best prepare myself if the mediation fell through.
Following an initial session I managed to negotiate a good deal through mediation and chose CSL (after they gave me a very competitive quote) to help me get the Consent order pushed through the court.
This is my first experience with the legal system, and CSL explained every part of the process back to front for me. They made

Megan and Clive provided solid legal advice and guidance at a very stressful time. They ensure that I understood and met my legal obligations, reassured me regarding the possible outcomes and fully explained the legal process. Their calming approach together with their excellent Barrister recommendation and handover, lead all in all to a fair settlement. Thank you Guys.

The whole team at CSL were professional and compassionate throughout the whole process of family arrangement proceedings They were very on the ball throughout every step of the case and fought for a positive result. I can not recommend them highly enough for their knowledge and amazing service. Often solicitors can feel very detached but I felt everyone made a very difficult process very human.

If you need legal assistance with a dispute or family matter then look no further than CSL Law. Their professionalism, sound advice and swift action makes them a great choice for anyone in need of their excellent services. We were given their personal attention, sensible and straightforward advice, realistic time scales and best and worst case scenarios. Following a very positive outcome, I could not recommend CSL Law highly enough!
