I have been practicing family law for over 34 years, so I understand keenly the devastating affect that separation can have on individuals and their families. I know that it is a very emotional time and that you may be worried about the financial and practical consequences of separation and the effect that separation will have on your children.
Lesley studied at Dundee University and completed her traineeship in 1985. She was drawn to family law from the start of her legal career. She regularly appeared in the Sheriff Court seeking protective orders for vulnerable clients and has a long history of dealing with child-related disputes. She was regularly appointed by the court as a Curator to look after the interests of children.
I recommend first having an initial discussion with you over the phone to assess your needs and give you an indication of costs. There will be no charge for this. If you then wish to take matters further, I would need to meet with you. We can either meet in my office or, if you prefer, at your own home.
We are aware that payment of legal fees will be a concern to you. Unfortunately we do not do legal aid. Lesley's costs are calculated on the basis of the time that she spends working on your case, though in some circumstances she will be able to give you a fixed fee for her work. Costs are something that can be discussed with Lesley during the course of the initial free phone conversation.
The breakdown of a relationship in Scotland can cause issues in two main areas; arrangements for the care of children and division of financial assets. For the most part, the legal arrangements in relation to children of a relationship are the same whether or not you are married or cohabiting. As far as children are concerned, the law encourages parents to reach agreement regarding the arrangements for the care of the children.
