Family Matters & Mediation

At Sharman Law we can offer a full range of services for your Family Matters.

Divorce

Getting divorced or dissolving a civil partnership can be an emotional, worrying and difficult time.

Finance

Disputes over finance can be a major stumbling block in relationships. For example, dealing with finances during the divorce process could actually take longer than the divorce itself.

Children

We are committed to helping you try to resolve issues relating to your children's wellbeing. For example, divorce and separation affects children differently to adults.

Cohabitation

Although there is no legal definition of living together, it generally means to live together as a couple without being married.

Pre-Nuptial Agreements

Pre-Nuptial agreements can provide a measure of certainty and the means of protecting pre-marriage assets, inheritance, and existing family commitments.

Arbitration is one of the leading ways to resolve disputes outside of the traditional court system. Arbitration has gained popularity precisely because it offers considerable advantages to a court-based judicial process.

Collaborative Law

Collaborative law is a relatively recent and fundamentally different approach to dealing with the problems associated with the breakdown of a relationship.

Mediation

Most people would agree that to go to court in respect of family difficulties should be the last resort. Whilst sometimes unavoidable, litigation is slow, can be stressful and is costly.

Pay As You Go

We recognise that some people would prefer to deal with the procedural part of the divorce themselves given that that is now an online process rather than instruct us to deal with that.
