Compassionate legal guidance for families navigating life's most challenging transitions
Supportive Family Law Solutions
At Atkins Legal, we understand that family law matters are often emotionally challenging and deeply personal. Our family law practice is built on compassion, discretion, and a commitment to achieving favourable outcomes while minimising conflict whenever possible.
Our approach emphasises practical solutions that protect your interests and those of your children while preserving family relationships and financial stability. We're especially mindful of how family transitions affect your overall wealth strategy and long-term financial wellbeing.
Our Family Law Services Include:
Divorce & Financial Remedies
We guide clients through the divorce process with sensitivity and strategic thinking, addressing financial settlements, pension sharing, and family home arrangements. Our goal is to help you achieve a fair resolution while minimising emotional and financial costs.
Complex Asset Division
Our experience with complex financial matters is particularly valuable when dividing marital assets. We ensure that all assets, including business interests, pension funds, and investment portfolios, are properly valued and equitably distributed.
Child Arrangements
We help parents develop thoughtful child arrangement orders and detailed parenting plans that serve children's best interests while respecting parental rights. Our team emphasises cooperative solutions that provide stability and nurturing environments for children.
Child & Spousal Maintenance
We advocate for fair and appropriate maintenance arrangements that reflect the true financial circumstances of both parties. Our financial expertise helps ensure that all relevant income sources are properly considered in support calculations.
Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements
We help couples create clear, enforceable agreements that protect individual assets while establishing fair terms for potential future separation. Our carefully drafted agreements can prevent costly disputes and provide peace of mind.
Post-Divorce Modifications
When circumstances change significantly, we assist with modifying child arrangements, contact orders, and maintenance orders to reflect new realities. Our team helps clients adapt to changing financial situations, relocations, or other major life changes.
Family Law Act Injunctions
We provide compassionate, urgent assistance to clients seeking protection from domestic abuse, obtaining non-molestation orders and occupation orders while ensuring access to supportive resources during challenging times.
International Family Law
Our expertise extends to complex cross-border family matters, including international divorce, child relocation, enforcement of foreign orders, and international child abduction under the Hague Convention. We have extensive experience coordinating with foreign legal experts to resolve multi-jurisdictional family issues.
