Family Law Solicitors

Support Through Life’s Toughest Moments

When a relationship breaks down, it can feel overwhelming—emotionally, practically, and financially. At Fitzhugh Gates Solicitors we’re here to guide you through this challenging time with clear advice, compassionate support, and practical solutions tailored to your unique situation.

What We Can Help With

Relationship breakdowns give rise to a lot of questions:

• Where will you and your partner live?
• How will the care of your children be arranged?
• What happens to shared finances and belongings?

These decisions can feel daunting, but with the right advice, they don’t have to be. We provide a full range of Family Law services designed to help you navigate every stage of separation or divorce.

Our Services

Divorce
Whether you’re looking for advice or need representation, we’ll guide you through the divorce process to help you reach the best outcome.

Child Arrangements
We’ll support you in making decisions about your children’s care, including helping you apply for Child Arrangement Orders if needed.

Cohabitation
For couples who live together, we offer:

• Advice on protecting your assets before moving in together.
• Support and representation if you’re separating and need to divide shared property or finances.

Pre-Nuptial and Post-Nuptial Agreements
We help you create clear agreements to protect your financial interests before or during marriage. If you’re separating and have concerns about an existing agreement, we can help with that too.

Domestic Abuse Support
If you’re experiencing domestic abuse, we can help you secure the protection you need, such as injunctions or other court orders. Your safety is our priority.

Separation Agreements
For couples who aren’t ready to divorce but want to formalise financial arrangements during separation, we’ll guide you through the process of creating a clear and fair agreement.

Civil Partnership Dissolution
We provide legal support for dissolving civil partnerships, including resolving living arrangements, finances, and child care plans.

Change of Name
Need to change your name or update the name of a child under your care? We’ll make the process straightforward and hassle-free.

Mediation
Where possible, we encourage couples to resolve disputes outside of court. Mediation can help you reach agreements on finances, children, and other issues in a less stressful and more cost-effective way.
