The Law Society's Family Panel. What is a Family Lawyer?A Hand Morgan & Owen Fact Sheet
As you go through the process of separation or divorce, you may find you have to deal with a number of organisations or individuals such as the courts, welfare officers, the Child Support Agency, divorce information providers or mediators. These people offer valuable services. However, amongst all these, your lawyer is the only person who is trained to act for and advise you individually on your own interests and how to protect them.
Experience shows that a sensitive and constructive approach to settling differences is usually beneficial to all concerned. An aggressive approach can often result in little more than a long exchange of complaints. Sometimes the opportunity to settle matters on a reasonable basis is lost. As an experienced adviser, your accredited Family Lawyer is aware of this and will try to act for you in a non-confrontational manner. In particular, where there are children involved it is recognised that there will usually need to be a continuing relationship between the parents is usually very important and beneficial for the children’s future.
Divorce or separation are complex processes of which most people have little detailed knowledge. Family Lawyers are committed to keeping you informed of the progress of your case and, in particular, will keep you informed as to the costs involved in your case. For more information, please contact Julie Wain at Stafford on 01785 211411, or Shani Carr at Rugeley on 01889 583871
