When a relationship breaks down, you’re often faced with several important decisions at once, from finances to housing and childcare. Our family law solicitors in Cornwall give you clear, practical advice throughout, so you can approach those decisions with confidence. We take time to understand your circumstances and build our advice around what matters most to you.
Family law is the only area our team practises. From your first contact with us, you’ll work with the same lawyer throughout your case, rather than being handed between different members of staff as things move forward. That continuity matters when you’re dealing with something both legally complex and personally difficult.
Our divorce lawyers in Cornwall work exclusively in the field of family law, which means our advice reflects current law and a genuine understanding of how family cases actually play out.
We’re members of Resolution and follow its constructive approach to resolving family disputes. Wherever possible, we favour negotiation and mediation over court proceedings, an approach that tends to reduce costs and, where children are involved, helps preserve important relationships.
Our Cornwall family law solicitors aim to keep things straightforward, with clear communication and transparency around costs throughout your case.

Our family law services in Cornwall
Divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution
No-fault divorce has simplified the process of applying for divorce, but the broader issues that come with separation still require careful handling. Financial arrangements, property and, where relevant, decisions about children all deserve proper attention.
Our divorce solicitors in Cornwall will guide you through each stage of the process, explaining what’s involved and helping you think through the decisions ahead. We look to identify potential difficulties early on, so they can be dealt with before they become bigger problems.
We also advise on civil partnership dissolution and separation agreements, with guidance tailored to your particular circumstances.
Where agreement can be reached outside court, we’ll support that route. If proceedings become necessary, your Cornwall divorce solicitor will represent you with a clear, well-considered strategy. We regularly handle more complex cases too, including those involving business assets, multiple properties and international elements.
Financial settlements
Reaching a financial settlement that works for both parties is often one of the most significant parts of separating. Our financial settlement solicitors in Cornwall provide practical, realistic advice aimed at an outcome that holds up now and in the years ahead.
We advise on the full range of financial matters, including pensions, property, savings, investments and business interests, giving proper weight to both immediate needs and long-term financial security.
Once an agreement is reached, we can formalise it through a consent order, making it legally binding and enforceable.
Where negotiation doesn’t lead to agreement, we can advise on arbitration or represent you in court proceedings. We’re upfront about costs from the outset, with fixed-fee options available for certain stages of your case.
Children
Arrangements for children after separation call for both sensitivity and sound legal advice. Many parents are able to agree things between themselves, but setting that agreement out properly helps make sure it holds up over time.
Where parents can’t agree, a child arrangements order may be needed to decide where a child lives and how their time is divided between parents.
Our child law solicitors in Cornwall offer calm, practical guidance throughout, whether that’s through negotiation, mediation or court proceedings. Whichever route your case takes, our focus stays on arrangements that genuinely serve the child’s best interests.
Prenuptial agreements
More couples are choosing to put financial arrangements in place before marriage, particularly where one or both already have assets such as property, savings or a business.
A prenuptial agreement can provide clarity and reduce the likelihood of a dispute if the relationship doesn’t work out. Our prenuptial agreement solicitors in Cornwall can draft or review agreements that are fair, clearly written and suited to your circumstances. We also advise on postnuptial agreements and arrangements for civil partners.
Unmarried couples
There’s often confusion about where unmarried couples stand legally. Cohabiting partners don’t have the same legal protections as married couples, which can leave real uncertainty if a relationship comes to an end.
A cohabitation agreement sets out clearly how finances and property should be handled. If you’ve already separated without one in place, getting advice early on is particularly important.
Our Cornwall unmarried couples solicitors advise both on putting protective agreements in place and on resolving disputes once a relationship has ended.
