Family & Financial Remedy

Family law barristers specialising in the financial consequences of divorce and the breakdown of relationships between cohabittees. In addition, St Pauls’ barristers advise in all legal matters concerning children. Call 0844 272 2322.

The family lawyers at St Pauls have extensive experience acting for both men and women following the breakdown of their marriage or relationship. Our family barristers regularly deal with cases in both the County and High Courts involving disputed property ownership, injunctions, jurisidiction issues, trusts, valuation of private companies and pensions and handle cases with values ranging from modest amounts to many millions.

Of course, as a consequence of any partnership dispute, the impact on the children must be an important factor in how the legal proceedings are handled. The barristers at St Pauls recognise the sensitivity involved when managing cases involving children and as well as drawing upon their expert knowledge of the law, our barristers still maintain a grasp on the bigger picture to secure the best outcome for our clients.

The barristers are also regularly instructed to act for the local authorities, parents and the children in care proceedings of varying complexity.
