Family law solicitors Peterborough

If you are looking for family law solicitors in Peterborough, then our team is on hand to assist.

Welcome to Fullers

Welcome to Fullers

Martin Fuller
Director & Solicitor

On the assumption that you are reading this because you are experiencing a break down in your relationship, let me please say how sorry I am that you find yourself in this situation. I have first-hand experience of relationship breakdown and understand the pain and misery this causes not just to you but to the whole family.

Our aim is to help you resolve the issues arising out of your relationship breakdown by minimising the conflict between you for two reasons: firstly, uncontrolled conflict will damage family relationships for years and sometimes indefinitely; and secondly, to keep the costs down, as it can take years to recover financially from a contested separation.

We go further than most, if not all, family law firms, in that we look to help you prepare for your new life after divorce.  Ensuring as far as possible you have the necessary resources whether you want to return to education, start up a business, restart your pre-marriage career or alternatively embark on a completely new adventure.

To achieve this, we offer a range of services to assist you with resolving matters. We provide Negotiation mentoring for those wishing to settle issues independently.  Alternatively, for those who wish to work together to reach an agreement with the assistance of a legal professional, we offer Mediation or our Together We Part service. For those who want to resolve matters more formally but still want a degree of flexibility to the process, we can guide you through Arbitration which is a privately organised dispute resolution service. Finally, we have a robust Litigation team for those who need court intervention.

I hope this may be of some help to you in deciding how you wish to manage your situation moving forward. My team will be more than happy to discuss your divorce and future expectations to ensure your “fair and reasonable” outcome provides you with a brighter future. You can book a consultation here.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope we can help you to navigate through this process and discover your new life.

We understand that you may be finding the current situation both concerning and confusing.

First and foremost, we are family lawyers and mediators and, as such, we are here to help you and your family with issues that might arise whilst you are trying to deal with what is currently happening.

So please remember, in complete confidence, and FREE of charge:

  • You can call us 7 days a week from 8am-10pm to discuss any concerns that you might have about your family. 
  • We offer a free callback, which can be carried out remotely over the telephone, by email, or via online conferencing such as Skype and Zoom.
  • We are happy to talk to you individually, or as a couple to try to resolve issues before they become problems.

So please, if you feel that you would like some support, or simply would like someone to talk to we are here for you.

We are here to help by providing positive outcomes for a brighter future.

FAQs

  1. What are the main elements of family law?
  2. What type of court orders can be made regarding children?
  3. My partner and I are not married; what happens if we split up?
  4. Do I have to attend mediation?

What are the main elements of family law?

Many people think that family law only refers to separation and divorce, but family law is a lot more complex than that! It covers wide range of topics including marital settlement agreement, property division, child custody, child support, pre- and post-nuptial agreements and more.  The most common parts of family law we deal with in Peterborough are divorce, child custody, and child support.

What type of court orders can be made regarding children?

A Supervision Order is where a child is placed under the supervision of the Local Authority, but this does not give it parental responsibility. The child is not taken into care and remains with the parents, with the local authority being legally obliged to offer support and assistance to the child and his/her family.

An Interim Care Order is a temporary care order which gives social services parental responsibility for a child, which they then share with the parents. It means that social services can decide where a child will live while the court proceedings are continuing.

My partner and I are not married; what happens if we split up?

In the UK, the law doesn’t recognise what is often called “common law” partners. When unmarried couples split, they usually have assets together. Without the legal framework that married couples have access to, good legal advice from a family law specialist is vital in achieving a fair and equitable resolution for all – especially if children are involved.

Do I have to attend mediation?

You do not have to attend mediation if you have agreed all family and divorce matters. If you want to apply to Court, relating to children or finances on a divorce matter, you will normally need to have attended mediation before making your application.
