At Woolley & Co, our family law solicitors, Great Yarmouth, provide clear, specialist advice to help you deal with separation and family issues with confidence. The end of a relationship often brings uncertainty around finances, property and arrangements for children. Our role is to give you straightforward guidance from the outset so that you understand your legal position and the options available.
Our national family law team is made up exclusively of experienced specialists. You will deal directly with an experienced solicitor whose work focuses entirely on family law, ensuring you receive advice informed by extensive experience across both straightforward cases and more complex matters involving business interests, significant assets or international elements.
Our divorce solicitors in Great Yarmouth do not divide their work across multiple legal areas. This dedicated focus enables us to provide technically sound advice while recognising the personal and practical realities of family disputes.
We are members of Resolution, a nationwide organisation promoting constructive and cooperative approaches to family law. Where suitable, we encourage dialogue, mediation, and negotiated outcomes over conflict, including early neutral evaluation and private financial dispute resolution hearings. These approaches often deliver more sustainable outcomes, especially when children are involved.
Our Great Yarmouth family law solicitors are committed to handling matters with care, efficiency, and discretion, helping you move forward with reassurance and a structured plan.

Our family law services in Great Yarmouth
Divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution
Bringing a marriage or long-term relationship to an end can feel overwhelming, both emotionally and practically. Even though some legal processes have been simplified, professional advice remains vital when dealing with finances, property, pensions, or arrangements for children.
Our Great Yarmouth divorce solicitors guide you carefully through each stage, making sure you understand your legal position, responsibilities, and options from the outset. We help you anticipate potential challenges, plan for the future, and make decisions that reflect your priorities.
We also advise on the dissolution of civil partnerships and formal separation agreements, with advice tailored to your individual circumstances.
Wherever possible we aim to resolve matters without court proceedings. If litigation becomes necessary, our Great Yarmouth divorce solicitors provide focused and strategic representation throughout.
We also regularly manage complex, high-value, and international cases, ensuring that financial and cross-border issues are handled with precision and care.
Financial settlements
Reaching agreement on financial matters is often one of the most significant aspects of separation. Our Great Yarmouth financial settlement solicitors provide clear, strategic advice to achieve fair and workable solutions that reflect both parties’ needs and future plans.
We advise on pension sharing, property division, business interests and other assets while keeping your longer-term financial security in mind. Where agreements are reached, we formalise them through consent orders, giving certainty and legal protection.
If discussions break down, we can advise on alternative dispute resolution, including arbitration, or represent you throughout court proceedings.
Children
Arrangements for children require careful and considered decision-making. While many parents are able to reach agreements themselves, legal advice can help ensure arrangements are structured in a way that supports a child’s welfare and long-term stability.
A child arrangements order may be appropriate in certain cases. This sets out where a child lives and how time is shared between parents, replacing older contact and residence orders.
Our Great Yarmouth child law solicitors offer thoughtful advice through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings, always placing the child’s best interests at the heart of decision-making.
Prenuptial agreements
Couples increasingly wish to clarify financial expectations before marriage, particularly where one or both partners bring property, savings or business interests into the relationship.
Our prenuptial agreement solicitors in Great Yarmouth draft and review agreements that are carefully structured and tailored to your circumstances. We also advise on postnuptial agreements and equivalent arrangements for civil partners.
Unmarried couples
Couples who live together without marrying do not have the same legal protections as married couples. When such relationships end, this can create uncertainty around finances and property.
A cohabitation agreement can offer clarity and protection. If one is not in place, early legal advice is essential to understand your position.
Our Great Yarmouth family law solicitors assist with drafting cohabitation agreements and provide guidance to unmarried couples throughout separation, ensuring you’re always in control of the situation.
