Our family team covers every aspect of separation, finances, and arrangements for children.
Divorce & Separation
Bringing a marriage or civil partnership to an end, from the first application through to the final order, handled properly and without unnecessary conflict.
Financial Settlements
Dividing the family home, savings, pensions, and other assets on separation, and putting the agreement into a form that is properly binding.
Arrangements for Children
Where the children live, how time is shared, and how decisions about them are made — reached by agreement wherever possible.
Pre-Nuptial & Post-Nuptial Agreements
Setting out in advance how assets would be dealt with if a marriage ended, whether before the wedding or at any point afterwards.
Separation & Living Together Agreements
Recording what has been agreed between couples who are separating, or between partners living together who want their arrangements set out clearly.
Protective Orders
Where you or your children are at risk, we advise on the orders available to protect you and can apply urgently where the situation requires it.
Working With Us — Step by Step
Every situation is different, but this is how matters usually progress from your first call.
Free Consultation
We listen to what has happened and explain the options open to you. Nothing is decided at this stage and there is no obligation.
Understanding the Position
We look at the finances, the arrangements for any children, and what each of you is hoping for, so you know where you stand.
Reaching Agreement
We put your position to the other side and negotiate, often through solicitors or mediation. Most matters are resolved at this stage.
Making It Binding
What has been agreed is recorded in a form the court approves, so that it is properly binding and cannot be reopened later.
Court, If Needed
Where agreement is not possible, we advise on applying to the court and represent you through to a decision.

Our office is on Kenton Road, Harrow. You can come in and talk things through in private, Monday to Saturday, 10am to 6pm.

Over 20 Years of Experience
We have been advising families across Harrow for more than two decades, on everything from straightforward separations to difficult and contested matters.
Everything in One Place
Separation often means transferring the family home and updating your will. Our property and private client teams handle both, so it is all dealt with here.
All Family Matters We Handle
From an amicable separation to a contested matter involving children and property, our experience covers the full range of family work.
Divorce
Ending a marriage or civil partnership, from the initial application through to the final order, handled without unnecessary conflict.
Dividing Finances
The family home, savings, pensions, and other assets — reaching a fair division and recording it so that it is binding.
Children Arrangements
Where the children live, how time is shared between parents, and how important decisions about them are made.
Maintenance
Ongoing financial support for a former spouse or for children, whether agreed between you or decided by the court.
Unmarried Couples
Partners who lived together but never married have a different position on separation. We advise on where you actually stand.
Agreements Between Couples
Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, and agreements between partners living together, setting out what has been agreed.
Urgent Protection
Where you or your children are at risk, orders can be applied for quickly. Call us and we will advise you the same day.
The Family Home
Transferring the home into one name, buying the other out, or selling and dividing the proceeds. Our conveyancing team deals with the transfer.
Where to Start
Most people put off getting advice because they think it commits them to something. It does not. A first conversation is simply about understanding your position — what you would be entitled to, what would happen with the children, and what your options actually are.
People often come in having been told something by a friend or found something online that turns out not to apply to their situation at all. Knowing where you genuinely stand makes the decisions that follow much easier, whatever you decide to do.
Arrange a Free ConsultationAgreement Wherever Possible
Matters resolved by agreement are quicker, less costly, and far less damaging — particularly where children are involved. We always work towards that first.
Agreements Need Recording Properly
An informal financial arrangement between separating couples is not binding and can be reopened years later. We put what you have agreed into a form the court approves.
Children Come First
Where arrangements for children cannot be agreed, the court's focus is on what is best for them rather than what either parent wants. We advise with that in mind throughout.
Living Together Is Not the Same as Marriage
Unmarried partners do not have the same position on separation, however long they have been together. It is worth understanding that before making any decisions.
Family Solicitors Who Know Harrow
We have been advising families across Harrow for more than two decades. Many of our clients come to us through recommendation from someone we have helped before, which in this area of work matters a great deal.
Being local helps. You can come into the office and talk things through face to face, in private, rather than trying to explain a difficult situation by email. Where a separation also involves the family home or updating your will, our property and private client teams deal with that too.
We advise clients across Harrow and the surrounding areas of north-west London.
