FAMILY LAW “HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT THE MOST”
The breakdown of any relationship is never easy to cope with no matter how amicable things may be. At Bridge McFarland we offer a confidential, personal service to help you deal with all of your issues large or small and to help you and your family move forward with your lives at the least financial and emotional cost as possible.
Our Family Law Accredited experts are all recognised by Resolution (the Association of Family Law Solicitors) as having the skills, knowledge and expertise to assist you when you most need the help and support.
We offer an efficient and prompt service, where you are able to see someone and have reassurance about your concerns, legal terms, processes and advice on how best to resolve matters for your particular circumstances.
All aspects of family law are covered whether you have been married or lived together or whether you are a grandparent or other concerned adult wanting to be involved in the life of a child or young adult.
For those who need protection from violence, aggressive behaviour and harassment we recognise the need to give prompt advice and take immediate steps to ensure protection against further problems. We work closely with Women’s Aid and the local police to try to prevent and reduce Domestic Abuse.
We also recognise that men can be the victims of abuse within the home and often they feel embarrassed about seeking professional help to deal with this. We have male lawyers within our teams who are able to offer this help and support if needed and there are concerns about seeking advice.
We cover all of the following and any other issues you may have about your family arrangements:
Advice on Prenuptial Agreements and Cohabitation Contracts
Divorce and Separation whether you have been married or not
Arrangements for children, where they live; what time they spend with each parent
Same sex relationships including property finance and children’s matters
Protection from Abuse, violence and occupation rights for property (injunctions)
Wills and what happens to your money after death
We also fully support and recommend the use of other methods of reaching an agreement including the use of Family Mediation (click for link), Relate and other relationship counselling.
Bridge McFarland holds a contract with the Legal Services Commission to offer Legal Aid (public funding) for those clients who qualify for financial help with their family matters. If public funding is not available we will tell you in advance what the likely costs will be for the work we need to do and if that changes we will discuss this with you and advise on the best course for you.
We encourage regular payment plans and are able to offer facilities in respect of this.
