Paris Steele introduces Family Law Focus
Family Law issues can be some of
the most personal and challenging situations we face.
At Paris Steele, we understand
that these matters are sensitive and often stressful. Which is why we have
introduced a new service – Family Law Focus – where one of our Family Law
experts will be available for you to have an initial free telephone
consultation to discuss your personal situation.
What does it cover?
Family Law deals with the legal
issues that arise from personal relationships, including marriage, civil
partnerships, and cohabitation. It covers separation and divorce, as well as
the financial provision that follows the end of a relationship, including
advice on financial and property entitlements.
It also addresses matters
involving children, such as parental responsibilities and rights, child contact
arrangements, and adoption, along with guardianships under the Adults with
Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000.
In addition, Family Law includes
prenuptial agreements, which formalise financial arrangements in the event of
separation or divorce, and broader issues relating to property rights.
Alongside this work, our team of
solicitors and paralegals can assist with personal injury claims and, where
appropriate, make referrals to our network of specialist advisers.
Free, confidential telephone
appointments
If you're unsure where you stand,
getting clear advice early can make all the difference.
Every Wednesday fortnight, from
2pm until 4pm, a member of our Family Law team will be available to speak with
new clients about their personal situation.
Dates and hosts will be announced
in advance, along with any relevant specialist focus. Follow us on social media
to stay updated on future dates and availability.
