Services for you & your family
What about the kids?
You know your children better than anyone else and as a parent you are best placed to make the important decisions for them, but there may be times you need more help, support and guidance.
If you have children and you are getting divorced, separating, or your cohabitation is breaking up, we can advise you on a wide range of issues relating to the children.
As far as possible, we help you reach an amicable agreement which is always based upon what is in the children’s best interests. However, where necessary, we can apply to the Courts for appropriate Orders.

Client Testimonials
"Rachel Barlow has just completed the legal arrangements in respect of my divorce. The service I received was exemplary and I wanted to write to you to let you know this. I have been pretty constrained in relation to availablity to meet and most of our business has been done over email which I appreciated, responses have been very timely, updates provided regularly, deadlines hit and fees reasonable. I contrast this with the service provided by a large law firm in sheffield in the early part of the year and your approach and that of your staff to customer services, in my , sets your firm apart. Your firm, and Rachel in particular, came to me though personal recommendation by and friend and I shall be happy to do the same. As I said to Rachel I am fully aware that those working with the public ( I work for the nhs) receive alot of brickbars than bouquets, so I wanted to let you know how happy I have been with the service received. Thank you again. " - Mr C Sheffield
