Hartnell Chanot: Divorce/Family Law Solicitors Exeter, Devon

Legal Issues

How you address the issue of separating could impact on your chance to build a happy future.

Coming to an agreement about your children or finances, without going to court or obtaining an order, is the most favourable route since it causes the least trauma for you and your children and keeps costs to a minimum.

How you address the issue of separating, from residence and contact disputes to the family home and finances, could impact on your chance to build a happy and secure future with your children. In many cases, family mediation may be the first step towards settling disputes - mediation is a less costly and more family friendly way to resolve things and can avoid costly and stressful court hearings.

However, if you are unable to agree on arrangements or if there are issues regarding the safety of children, it is advisable to seek legal advice from a quality family solicitor. At Hartnell Chanot our experienced family solicitors can help guide you through the process of divorce and separation, helping you to understand your rights, and the rights of your children during the process of separation.
