It is stressful and upsetting for all family members when relationships breakdown and particularly when there are concerns involving children.

At Heppenstalls we have a varied team of people, experienced in Family Law, to try and resolve issues in a supportive and non-confrontational way. Mrs. Pullan, Mr. Bennett and Mrs Herd are members of Resolution and subscribe to their code of conduct.

We also offer a collaborative law process so that people can reach agreement in a constructive way without having to attend Court. Our team also has extensive experience in acting in children matters in every level of Court both involving disputes within families and where the Local Authority is involved.

We also appreciate that using a Legal team can be expensive. We have a contract with the Legal Services Commission to provide public funding for those on a low income. Parents in care proceedings are entitled to funding whatever their means.

We are also conscious of keeping costs at a reasonable level firstly by encouraging agreement, whilst ensuring that our clients' interests are protected. Also by using the most appropriate level of fee earner to carry out any task.

We can use our expertise to advise and support you with the following matters:

• Divorce, Cohabitation disputes
• Civil Partnership breakdown
• Disputes over residence and contact
• Care proceedings
• Change of name deeds
• Abduction
• Domestic violence
• Pre-nuptial agreements
• Adoption
