At Woolley & Co, our family law solicitors in Solihull provide clear, practical advice designed to help you make informed decisions at what can be an uncertain and emotional time. We recognise that family law issues often involve more than just legal considerations, which is why we take the time to understand the wider personal and financial context of your situation. Our aim is to help you move forward with confidence, clarity, and a clear plan.
Our family law team is one of the most established in the UK, with a depth of collective experience that allows us to handle even the most complex cases with confidence. That experience also means we are well placed to identify opportunities to resolve matters early, and to guide clients through a wide range of non-court dispute resolution options.
Unlike many firms, our divorce solicitors in Solihull work exclusively within family law. This dedicated focus ensures you benefit from specialist knowledge, current legal insight, and a team that understands the law as well as the personal impact family disputes can have.
We are proud members of Resolution, a national organisation committed to promoting constructive, non-confrontational approaches to family law. Wherever appropriate, this means encouraging discussion, negotiation, and cooperation rather than unnecessary litigation, including mediation, early neutral evaluation, and private financial dispute resolution hearings. This approach often leads to more outcomes that are likely to last, and helps preserve relationships, particularly where children are involved.
Our family law solicitors in Solihull aim to resolve matters efficiently and sensitively, giving you the clarity and support needed to move forward with confidence.

Our family law services in Solihull
Divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution
Bringing a marriage or long-term relationship to an end can feel overwhelming, both emotionally and practically. While recent legal reforms have simplified some procedural aspects, professional advice remains crucial when addressing finances, property, pensions, or arrangements for children.
Our divorce solicitors in Solihull take the time to explain each stage of the process, ensuring you understand your rights, responsibilities, and available options from the outset. We will also help you anticipate potential challenges, assess risks, and make informed decisions that support your longer-term goals.
In addition to divorce, we advise on civil partnership dissolution and formal separation agreements, offering bespoke advice that reflects your specific circumstances.
We prioritise resolving disputes outside of court wherever possible, helping to minimise disruption and cost. Where court proceedings are unavoidable, our divorce solicitors in Solihull offer strong, strategic representation.
Our team also has extensive experience dealing with high-net-worth, complex, and international divorce cases, ensuring intricate financial and jurisdictional issues are handled with precision and discretion.
Financial settlements
Agreeing on financial matters can be one of the most challenging aspects of separation. Our Solihull financial settlement solicitors provide practical, strategic advice aimed at achieving a fair and sustainable outcome that reflects both parties’ needs and future plans.
We regularly act in cases involving pensions, multiple properties, business interests, and complex wealth, as well as more straightforward financial arrangements. Where agreement is reached, we can formalise this through a consent order, providing certainty, enforceability, and peace of mind.
If negotiations stall, we are well placed to advise on arbitration or to represent you through court proceedings.
Children
Arrangements for children are often the most sensitive and important issues following separation. While many parents reach agreement themselves, sometimes with the help of a parenting plan, legal advice can help ensure arrangements remain focused on a child’s welfare and long-term stability.
In some cases, a child arrangements order may be appropriate. This sets out where a child lives and how their time is spent with each parent, replacing the former contact and residence orders.
Our child law solicitors in Solihull provide calm, practical advice and support, whether through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings, always prioritising the best interests of the child and encouraging workable, child-focused solutions.
Prenuptial agreements
Prenuptial agreements are increasingly common, particularly where couples marry later in life or bring assets, property, or business interests into the relationship. When prepared correctly, they can significantly reduce uncertainty and conflict in the future.
Our prenuptial agreement solicitors in Solihull can draft or review agreements that are balanced, transparent, and tailored to your circumstances. We also advise on postnuptial agreements and equivalent arrangements for civil partners.
Unmarried couples
Cohabiting couples do not enjoy the same legal protections as married couples, despite the persistent myth of ‘common law marriage’. When relationships end, this can lead to uncertainty and disputes over finances or property.
A cohabitation agreement can provide clarity and protection. If separation occurs without one, early legal advice is essential to understand your position and options.
Our Solihull family law solicitors assist with drafting cohabitation agreements and advising unmarried couples throughout the separation process.
