Family law in the UK deals with legal matters affecting families and domestic relationships, including marriage, civil partnerships, cohabitation, and parental rights. It encompasses a broad range of issues, from divorce and child custody to adoption and domestic violence. While divorce is part of family law, it’s often advisable to consult a solicitor who specialises in divorce if that is your primary concern.

What issues do family law solicitors handle?

  • Child custody and arrangements: Determining where children live and how much time they spend with each parent.
  • Adoption and fostering: Navigating the legal requirements for bringing a new child into your family.
  • Child maintenance: Ensuring financial support is provided for children after a separation.
  • Domestic violence and abuse: Securing protective orders (e.g., non-molestation or occupation orders) and safeguarding vulnerable family members.
  • Family mediation: Facilitating discussions between partners or spouses to resolve disagreements without going to court.
  • Cohabitation and civil partnerships: Drafting agreements and resolving disputes for unmarried or civilly partnered couples.
  • Children matter in general

How can a family solicitor help, and what does it cost?

A family solicitor can:

  • Offer legal advice: Explaining your rights and responsibilities under family law, whether it’s child-related issues, financial settlements, or protection orders.
  • Mediate disputes: Working with both parties to find amicable solutions, reducing stress and legal fees.
  • Represent you in court: If an agreement can’t be reached, a solicitor will prepare your case and advocate on your behalf.

Fees vary depending on complexity and solicitor experience. Many charge £150–£300 per hour, although fixed-fee packages may be available for uncontested matters, such as straightforward child arrangement orders. For more complex situations—like contested custody or intricate financial disputes—costs can rise. An initial consultation is often discounted or free, allowing you to discuss your situation, estimate fees, and explore the best course of action.

What is a Family Lawyer? Is it Different from a Family Solicitor?

When dealing with family law matters, you might encounter terms like “family lawyer,” “family solicitor,” “chartered legal executive,” and “barrister.” These titles can be confusing, leaving you wondering which type of legal professional you need. So, do you need a family solicitor, a barrister, or a lawyer? Here’s how to decide.

Do I Need a Family Solicitor, a Barrister, or a Lawyer?

The type of legal professional you need depends on your specific situation. If you require comprehensive support throughout the entire legal process, including advice, document preparation, negotiation, and representation in court, a family solicitor is usually the right choice. They can guide you through matters such as divorce, child custody arrangements, financial settlements, and mediation.

If your case involves going to court or if you need specialized representation during a court hearing, a barrister may be necessary. Barristers are experts in courtroom advocacy and can provide strategic legal arguments. Typically, a solicitor will engage a barrister when your case progresses to a trial.

The term “family lawyer” is more of a general phrase. It can refer to a solicitor, a barrister, or even a chartered legal executive who specializes in family law. If you’re uncertain about the type of legal help you need, it’s advisable to start with a family solicitor. They can assess your situation and involve a barrister if required.

What Does a Family Solicitor Do?

A family solicitor offers end-to-end legal support. They provide legal advice, prepare and review documents, negotiate on your behalf, and represent you in court if necessary. Family solicitors handle a wide range of family law issues, including divorce, child custody, financial settlements, and mediation services. They are ideal for managing every aspect of your legal matter, ensuring that all paperwork is handled correctly and legal procedures are followed.

When Should I Use a Barrister Instead of a Solicitor?

You may need a barrister if your case is heading to court or involves complex legal arguments that require specialized advocacy. Barristers are highly trained in court representation and are skilled at presenting cases, examining witnesses, and providing detailed legal opinions. However, it is rare to approach a barrister directly. Typically, a family solicitor will refer your case to a barrister if court proceedings become necessary.

What is a Chartered Legal Executive and Do I Need One?

A chartered legal executive is also a qualified lawyer, often specializing in specific areas of law, including family law. They perform similar tasks to solicitors, such as giving legal advice, preparing documents, and managing cases. However, unlike solicitors, they cannot use the title “family solicitor.” A chartered legal executive can be a good choice if you need specific legal assistance, such as drafting documents or dealing with straightforward legal matters that do not necessarily require a solicitor’s broader expertise.

How Do I Decide Which Legal Professional to Hire?

If you are unsure where to begin, it is best to consult a family solicitor first. They can evaluate your case, provide initial advice, and guide you through legal processes. If your situation becomes more complex or if your case goes to court, your solicitor can involve a barrister to ensure you receive the best possible representation. This approach offers a balanced mix of support, from initial consultation through to courtroom advocacy if needed.
