Whether cohabitants, married, or civil partners, each couple is different. Many issues can arise. Advice can be needed on deciding how care of children is to be shared, what happens to the family home, or how to deal with pensions, savings and debts. Whatever the situation, we will find creative but fair solutions for our clients.
Where complex issues arise, such as how to deal with a family business, how pre-marriage or inherited property is dealt with or deciding who retains which assets or debts, careful legal advice is needed. We have a wealth of experience in this field, whether in negotiation or in court, and whether assets are in Scotland or elsewhere.

Services
Family law advice has to be sensitive to the needs of individual clients. We understand that when a couple separate there are many issues to consider, not all of which are about the law. Our approach is solution focused, aiming to minimise conflict. That keeps costs down and helps our clients move on with their lives in a positive way.
Depending on the nature and complexity of your legal matter, the legal work undertaken by us may be completed by one or several members of our legal team. Below we have set out the hourly charging rates for each of our fee earners. The number of hours spent on your case will be determined by the complexity and the unique circumstances of your case.

I am extremely pleased about the service. Mrs. Paton has helped me to get through separation and then the divorce. It wasn't easy as child care and assets were in question. Everything from the beginning was very clear and explained to me in detail. I couldn't have hoped for a better lawyer than Mrs. Paton. Also ladies working at Elizabeth Welsh Family Law Practice have always been there for me as well.
