An unfortunate fact of life is that personal and family relationships do break down. Implications can be complex and distressing, particularly when children are involved.

It’s important to resolve problems as quickly, efficiently and effectively as possible, with a close relationship between you and your lawyer to assist you every step of the way.

WBW has a dedicated Family Law Team with Lawyers who are members of Resolution (formerly the Solicitors Family Law Association), The Law Society’s Children Panel and the Resolution Specialist Panel.

WBW’s vast experience is highly regarded throughout the South West and our specially trained team can guide and help clients through the most difficult and stressful of personal circumstances.

WBW can assist with all aspects relating to a family breakdown including advising you on divorce and separation, co-habitee disputes and financial disputes and with children issues relating to contact and residence, parental responsibility, adoption and care proceedings. We can help set up agreements for people planning on living together to help safeguard their interests.

WBW has a dedicated Domestic Abuse Team, and recognises the particular stress of being involved in an abusive relationship. Please telephone our dedicated FREEPHONE Domestic Abuse Legal Helpline on 0800 694 2300.

WBW has qualified mediators who can help  avoid or solve legal disputes. The courts are increasingly referring parties to mediation as a resolution to family matters. Legal funding is often available depending on  your financial circumstances. We also offer a free half hour appointment to discuss how we can help you.
