How We Can Help
At Brookman we focus exclusively on family law matters. This means advising on the divorce procedure itself, helping you get the right financial settlement and dealing with any issues relating to children. Below we’ve set out in a little more detail how we can help clients from Epsom and the surrounding areas.
- Divorce – We advise clients who are considering divorce or who have just begun the process, often handling the practical, administrative aspects so you can concentrate on the main financial issues and child arrangements. The no-fault divorce application process is usually done online but there are important timeframes to observe to ensure your case runs smoothly. Whether your application is a sole application or joint you need to ensure financial claims and other matters are dealt with correctly from the outset. As the divorce application progresses extensive financial information and your proposals for child arrangements need to be provided to the other side and, in some instances, to the court. We can help guide you through this process, carefully explain each step and ensure all deadlines are met.
- Financial Aspects of Divorce and Separation – We have spent decades specialising in financial settlements on divorce. Because of the discretion judges here have when dividing the assets of a divorcing couple, it can sometimes be difficult to provide clients with pragmatic advice on financial matters. With our experience however, once we understand your financial situation and that of your spouse, we can usually form a realistic picture of what a final settlement might look like in your case. Others without our level of expertise are less likely to be able to provide this type of assessment. We deal with cases ranging from the relatively straightforward involving modest assets to the most complex cases centring on high value assets located in multiple jurisdictions.
- Children – We’ll work with you and your spouse’s representative to reach an agreement about where your children will live after divorce, and what time they will spend with the non-resident parent. Where necessary, we’ll apply to court for the necessary Child Arrangement Order.
- Pre And Post Nuptial Agreements – Used appropriately, nuptial agreements that specify how property is to be split if the relationship ends can shorten discussions about finances on divorce. These agreements have other uses too, including the potential to safeguard family inheritances and other property. We are happy to discuss with you directly how a carefully-drafted pre or postnup could be of benefit to you.
- Divorce With An International Angle – Brookman is recognised widely for its experience in international divorces. If you or your spouse have connections with another country, your divorce could potentially be decided outside of England and Wales. This could have significant repercussions for your financial settlement. We have a deep understanding of both domestic and international family law, and are used to factoring into UK divorce settlements assets such as overseas trusts, international property portfolios and business interests.
Why Choose Us
Brookman serves Epsom locals, including those in Ewell, Stoneleigh. Epsom Common and around Epsom Downs. They come to us for a whole range of reasons.
The team itself is widely known for its work and expertise in complex family cases. We have earned Lexcel accreditation – the Law Society’s quality mark for client care – and are listed in the Legal 500 directory. Many members of the team are also singled out in Chambers & Partners for their exemplary work in family law.
In addition, while we have a substantial number of solicitors and support staff, we aren’t a big or impersonal firm where there could be a danger that your case does not get the focused attention it requires.
At what can be a fraught and stressful time we take a constructive approach to finding the best outcome for you. We are members of Resolution and are highly skilled at using negotiation and other alternative dispute resolution techniques to avoid court where possible. Of course if there is too much distance between you and your spouse, and court proceedings are necessary, we will defend your position as robustly as any other family law firm. As you’ll see from our reviews, our commitment to our clients is well recognised by those we have already helped.
