Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between family law and civil law?
Family law deals with issues such as divorce, child custody, adoption, and financial settlements within families. Civil law, on the other hand, covers disputes between individuals or organisations, such as contracts or property matters.
Do I need a solicitor for a separation agreement?
While it is possible to draft an agreement without legal help, having a solicitor ensures that the document is legally sound and enforceable. A family law solicitor can also identify potential issues you may not have considered, such as pension rights or tax implications. This professional guidance reduces the risk of disputes later on.
How long does it take to resolve a family law case?
The timeframe depends on the complexity of the case and whether both parties are willing to cooperate. Mediation and negotiated settlements are usually quicker than court proceedings. On average, straightforward matters can be resolved in a few months, while more complex disputes may take longer.
Is mediation a good alternative to going to court?
Mediation can be an effective way to resolve family law disputes without the stress and expense of court proceedings. It allows both parties to discuss their concerns in a structured environment with the help of a neutral mediator. While mediation is not legally binding on its own, any agreements reached can be formalised by a solicitor, giving you both clarity and legal protection.
