Request A CallbackWhat family law matters can our team at FJG help with?
We advise on a broad range of family law matters, including divorce, civil partnership dissolution, children issues, domestic abuse, fertility and parenting disputes, and prenuptial or cohabitation agreements. We also have specialist knowledge in matters relating to special education needs. Our goal is to provide clear guidance and practical solutions, helping you understand your options and what to expect at each stage of the process.
Where are your family law solicitors based?
Our family law team is conveniently located all across Essex, with offices in Billericay, Braintree, Chelmsford, Clacton-on-Sea, Colchester, Sudbury, and central London. Our thoughtfully placed branches allow us to provide support close to where you live or work, making it easier to arrange meetings and access the advice you need.
Do I need a solicitor to settle my family law matters?
While some matters can be handled independently, a solicitor can help make sure your rights are protected and the process is handled as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. Our solicitors provide expert guidance, manage the necessary paperwork, and represent you where required, helping you make informed decisions and avoid common pitfalls.
What are the fees for family law services?
We offer a range of flexible fee options to suit a variety of circumstances, including fixed fees for certain services, pay-as-you-go support, fully managed services, and advocacy-only options where suitable. Our initial fact-finding meeting provides a detailed overview of your situation, helping you understand your options and plan the next steps.
Can you help with children arrangements?
Yes. Our solicitors advise on all children-related matters, including residence and contact arrangements, child support, and other parenting issues. We’ll help you find practical solutions that work for your family. Where possible, we always encourage reaching agreements outside of court, but we will also represent you in court if needed.
Do you offer support for domestic abuse cases?
Yes. We understand that domestic abuse situations are sensitive and require careful handling. Our solicitors are here to provide confidential advice and support, helping you understand your legal options and ensuring your safety is considered at every stage. We work to provide practical solutions while offering a supportive environment throughout the process.
Can you help me avoid going to court?
Not every case needs to see the inside of a courtroom, and wherever possible, we always aim to resolve matters without the need for Court proceedings.
What is a prenuptial or cohabitation agreement?
A prenuptial agreement explains how money and property would be divided if you get divorced. A cohabitation agreement does the same for couples who live together but aren’t married. We can help you create agreements that are tailored to your situation, giving you clear guidance and peace of mind for the future.
