At Woolley & Co, our family law solicitors in Truro provide clear, measured guidance to help you make informed choices during what is often a challenging and uncertain period. We recognise that family law issues rarely exist in isolation and frequently involve emotional, financial, and practical considerations. By taking the time to understand your broader situation, we aim to support you with advice that is both realistic and forward-looking, allowing you to move ahead with confidence and clarity.
Our family law team is one of the most well-established in the UK, bringing together a depth of collective experience that enables us to manage cases of all levels of complexity with assurance and discretion. That experience also means we are well placed to identify opportunities to resolve matters early, and to guide clients through a wider range of non-court dispute resolution options.
Unlike many firms, our divorce solicitors in Truro practise exclusively in family law. This focused approach ensures you benefit from specialist expertise, up-to-date legal insight, and a team that understands the law as well as the personal impact family disputes can have.
We are members of Resolution, a national organisation dedicated to promoting constructive and non-adversarial approaches to family law. Where appropriate, this means prioritising discussion, negotiation, and cooperation over unnecessary court proceedings, including mediation, early neutral evaluation, and private financial dispute resolution hearings. Such approaches often lead to more outcomes that are likely to last, particularly where ongoing parental relationships are involved.
Our Truro family law solicitors work to resolve matters sensitively and efficiently, providing the reassurance and support you need to move forward with a clear plan.

Our family law services in Truro
Divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution
Ending a marriage or long-term relationship can be overwhelming, both emotionally and practically. Although recent legal changes have simplified certain procedural elements, professional advice remains essential when dealing with finances, property, pensions, or arrangements for children.
Our divorce solicitors in Truro guide you through each stage of the process, ensuring you understand your legal position, responsibilities, and options from the outset. We help you identify potential challenges early, assess risks, and make decisions that support your longer-term interests.
Alongside divorce proceedings, we advise on the civil partnership dissolution and formal separation agreements, providing tailored advice that reflects your individual circumstances.
Wherever possible, we focus on resolving disputes outside of court to minimise stress, cost, and disruption. When court proceedings are unavoidable, our Truro divorce solicitors provide clear, strategic representation throughout.
Our team also has significant experience in high-value, complex, and international cases, ensuring intricate financial and jurisdictional issues are handled with care and precision.
Financial settlements
Reaching agreement on finances is often one of the most difficult aspects of separation. Our Truro financial settlement solicitors offer practical, strategic advice aimed at achieving outcomes that are fair, workable, and sustainable for the future.
We regularly advise on matters involving pensions, business interests, multiple properties, and complex wealth, as well as more straightforward financial arrangements. Where agreement is reached, we can formalise it through a consent order, providing certainty, enforceability, and peace of mind.
If negotiations do not progress, we are well placed to advise on arbitration or to represent you through court proceedings.
Children
Arrangements for children are frequently the most sensitive and important issues following separation. While many parents are able to reach agreement without formal intervention, sometimes with the help of a parenting, 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 divided between parents, replacing the former contact and residence orders.
Our child law solicitors in Truro provide calm, supportive guidance through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings, always prioritising the child’s best interests and encouraging practical, child-focused solutions.
Prenuptial agreements
Prenuptial agreements are increasingly used by couples who marry later in life or who bring property, savings, or business interests into a relationship. When prepared properly, they can reduce uncertainty and help avoid future disputes.
Our prenuptial agreement solicitors in Truro 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
Despite common misconceptions, couples who live together without marrying do not have the same legal rights as married couples. When relationships end, this can result in uncertainty and disputes over finances or property.
A cohabitation agreement can provide clarity and protection. Where separation occurs without one in place, early legal advice is essential to understand your position and available options.
Our Truro family law solicitors assist with drafting cohabitation agreements and advising unmarried couples throughout the separation process.
