How I can help

Areas of family law

Whatever stage you are at, there is a calm way through. Here is where Hartley Family Law can help.

  • Divorce and separation. Clear guidance through the legal process, at a pace that suits you.
  • Child arrangements. Sorting where children live and how they see each parent, with their wellbeing first.
  • Financial settlements. Dividing money, property and pensions fairly when a relationship ends.
  • Prenuptial agreements. Setting out clearly what happens to assets, before you marry.
  • Mediation support. Advice and representation for people going through mediation elsewhere.

You should never feel rushed, judged, or unsure what something costs. That is the practice I wanted to build.
