Family issues can be emotionally charged, complex, and difficult to navigate — especially when they involve children, finances or the breakdown of a relationship. That’s why at Fisher Jones Greenwood, our family law solicitors in Colchester provide calm, clear legal advice when it matters most. Whether you’re going through a divorce, dealing with child arrangements, or trying to protect your financial future, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Whatever your situation, we’ll work with you to find a way forward that protects your rights and prioritises long-term stability — especially where children are involved.
Divorce is a very common area of family law, and our team know exactly how difficult it can be – emotionally, legally and financially. Our expert divorce solicitors in Colchester will guide you through each stage, from the initial application to finalising arrangements around children, finances and future plans. Our advice is always practical and specific to your situation, designed to reduce uncertainty and help you plan with confidence.
A key part of any divorce is the financial settlement — and this is where clear legal advice becomes especially important. We can advise on how any assets should be divided, including property, pensions, savings, businesses and ongoing maintenance. We can help you identify what’s fair and achievable, explain the options open to you, and even represent your interests during negotiations, mediation or court proceedings if required.
When a relationship ends, making decisions about children is often the most sensitive and emotional part of the process. We help parents in Colchester resolve crucial issues around child arrangements; such as who the child lives with, how often they see the other parent, how school holidays are shared, and what happens if one parent wants to move away.
Our goal is always to help you agree on arrangements that work for your family and prioritise the needs of your child. We’ll explain your legal rights and responsibilities, represent you in negotiations or court if needed, and work to minimise the potential for legal conflict wherever possible – aiming to give you peace of mind about your child’s wellbeing.
