MWG’s family law solicitors in Manchester advise on divorce, separation, financial settlements and arrangements for children. From our South Manchester office on Kingsway, we help you understand your options and the practical steps relevant to your circumstances.
Family matters can affect your home, finances and relationships. We take time to understand what matters to you, explain the legal issues in plain language and discuss the work and costs before you decide how to proceed. Tell us about any urgent hearing, deadline or immediate concern when you contact us.
Start with the issue you need help with. Some situations involve several areas at once, such as divorce, a family home and arrangements for children. Our team can explain how the different steps fit together.
We begin by understanding your priorities, your family circumstances and any urgent deadlines. We explain the options, the information needed and the likely next steps. Depending on the matter, this may include negotiation, advice alongside mediation, preparing an agreement or court proceedings.
An agreement reached informally may need further legal steps to become enforceable. For example, ending a marriage does not automatically resolve financial claims. Our financial settlement solicitors can explain the role of a financial order and why pensions and future needs may require careful consideration.
Child arrangements should focus on the child’s welfare and individual circumstances. Separation does not automatically determine where a child will live or how much time they will spend with either parent. Where safe and appropriate, parents may be able to agree arrangements without a contested hearing.
If you are considering a court application, ask us about the relevant procedure, mediation requirements and any exemptions. Read our child arrangements service and guide to fathers’ rights and parental responsibility for an introduction to the issues.
Bring a brief outline of your situation, important dates, any existing agreement or court order and details of the outcome you hope to achieve. For financial matters, a summary of property, income, savings, debts and pensions can help identify what further information is needed. If a hearing or response deadline is approaching, tell us when you first enquire.
Costs depend on the work required, the complexity of the issues and whether agreement is possible. Ask for an explanation of the scope, charging basis, VAT and any court or third-party costs before instructing us. We can discuss the funding arrangements available for your particular matter; do not assume that a fixed fee or legal aid applies to every case.
