Matters handled by a family law firm

Divorce Family Law Firm UKThere are three distinct jurisdictions relating to matters of law in the United Kingdom – England and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The systems of family law are quite different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so when you are looking for a family law firm to represent you it is wise to ensure the solicitors working in the practice are well versed in the legislation for the geographical area relating to your particular circumstances.

Family law in England and Wales is concerned with matters relating to families and anyone who has a domestic relationship with another party. There are various authorities, agencies and groups which are involved in ensuring family law is upheld and the rights of vulnerable people are maintained under the relevant legislation.

Private law relating to families is primarily concerned with solving and ruling upon disputes among family members. While public family law underpins social decisions on welfare issues, such as adoption and care proceedings.

Areas of family law

Family law covers matters including;

    • Family relationships – marriage and civil-partnerships, relationship breakdown, separation, divorce and dissolution
  • Domestic abuse
  • Property rights – marital property agreements, transfer of property on divorce, trusts of land, property on separation, liquidating assets and division of capital
  • Children – parental responsibility, children arrangements on divorce, upbringing of children, children’s rights, child protection, adoption, child abduction and international abduction

Family law matters are heard in County Courts and Family Proceedings Courts (Magistrates’ Courts). Family Division courts are a specialist division of the High Court.

Although there are lots of systems in place to help couples and families avoid going to court, such as mediation, family arbitration and counselling, family law is complex and it is always wise to seek the advice of a family law firm, before reaching any agreement with a former partner, to ensure you have protected your best interests and those of your dependants.
