What does a family law solicitor do?
A family law solicitor helps clients resolve legal issues within relationships, including divorce, separation, child arrangements, financial settlements, prenuptial agreements, and domestic abuse protection orders. At Lyons Bowe, our family law solicitors provide clear advice and practical support to help you move forward with confidence.
How much does a family law solicitor cost?
At Lyons Bowe, we offer fixed-fee family law services so you always know what to expect. Costs depend on the complexity of your case, but our transparent pricing and free initial consultation ensure there are no hidden fees and you can make informed decisions before proceeding.
What is a no-fault divorce and how does it work?
A no-fault divorce allows couples to legally end their marriage without assigning blame. It simplifies the process by reducing conflict and focusing on resolution. Our divorce solicitors guide you through every step from the online application to financial and child arrangements ensuring the process runs smoothly.
How long does a divorce take in the UK?
The average no-fault divorce in England and Wales takes around 6 to 8 months, depending on court times and how quickly both parties respond. Lyons Bowe helps you stay on track by managing timelines, documents, and agreements efficiently from start to finish.
What are child arrangements and how are they decided?
Child arrangements outline where children will live, how much time they spend with each parent, and how key decisions are made. Our family solicitors help parents reach agreements that prioritise the child’s wellbeing and provide legal clarity for everyone involved.
What is a financial settlement in divorce?
A financial settlement divides assets such as property, savings, pensions, and investments fairly between spouses. Lyons Bowe’s family law team advises on fair and transparent settlements, helping you secure your financial future after separation or divorce.
Do I need a solicitor for a prenuptial agreement?
Yes. For a prenuptial agreement to be valid and enforceable in the UK, both parties should receive independent legal advice. Lyons Bowe can draft or review your agreement to ensure it’s fair, compliant, and offers peace of mind before marriage.
Can I get family law advice online or remotely?
Lyons Bowe offers remote appointments via phone or video, as well as digital document signing and secure online communication. Whether you’re local or based elsewhere in the UK, our solicitors make accessing expert
