Divorce & Separation

Expert divorce solicitors

At Harrogate Family Law, we combine compassion and expertise to guide clients through separation and divorce. Most divorces are straightforward, often handled without court attendance, but when disputes arise, having the right divorce solicitors on your side makes all the difference.

Protecting your financial future

Divorce settlements can vary widely, even when the court aims for a ‘fair’ outcome. That’s why expert advice is crucial.

We specialise in complex financial cases, including:

  • Property and the family home
  • Pensions and retirement assets
  • Businesses and trusts
  • Inherited assets
  • Large differences in income

With us, you get clear guidance, strategic advice, and strong representation to secure your financial future.

The family home

Worried about your spouse staying in the house? We help you understand your rights, options, and realistic outcomes, and take action to protect your home if needed.

Children and child arrangements

Our priority is helping families minimise the impact on children. We advise on:

  • Where your children will live (child arrangements)
  • Contact with the other parent and extended family
  • Securing child maintenance
  • Protective orders to prevent relocation or other harmful actions
  • Specific decisions about schooling or relocating within the UK or abroad
