With an increasing number of family breakdowns, you may find yourself in need of a solicitor’s advice. At Hatten Wyatt, our family lawyers include specialists who are advanced members of The Law Society Family Law Panel and are skilled in assisting clients to work through their issues to result in an amicable solution. We understand the need to provide practical advice, telling you where you stand legally, in a sympathetic and non-judgmental way.
We believe that the sooner you speak to us the more help that we can be. We can take immediate action to prevent violence (both verbal and physical) against you and your children. We can also take action against the misuse and abuse of your assets, as well as explaining the legal options available to you.
We will do whatever is necessary to protect your situation and your children’s future wellbeing. We will always look for a negotiated settlement. The legal process can often add to the stress of a breakdown but our skilled family solicitors always try to minimise disagreement and encourage a working relationship between the partners for their own benefit and that of their children. If mediation is judged to be a realistic alternative, we will advise and support you throughout the process.
