Brookman is a long-established, specialist family law team. We offer high quality advice and representation to residents of Roehampton and others in the Wandsworth borough.
We are part of DMH Stallard, a well-known law firm, and we are proud of the fact that other legal professionals and former clients hold us in high regard.
If you live in Roehampton and are considering divorce you should seek legal advice as quickly as possible. Many people find it helpful to instruct a solicitor they can visit in person rather than use online providers where an impersonal approach is often inadequate to deal with the sensitive issues that your divorce might raise. Brookman has a network of offices across the South, including bases in central London and in Richmond so we are ideally located to offer personal advice to you on your divorce and related family law matters.
Divorce raises complex and sensitive issues no matter where you’re located. Whether you have children or not and whether your finances are secure, reaching a final agreement with your spouse is rarely straightforward. Clients in Roehampton and throughout the borough of Wandsworth benefit from our national and international experience.
We offer a service combining value for money with high calibre, practical advice, and we’re happy to have a free initial conversation without any obligation. We’ll offer preliminary guidance and support to help you decide what steps you should take next.

WHAT WE DO
The team of solicitors at Brookman deals exclusively with family law and related matters. Our clients in Roehampton can get help with:
- Divorce and Separation – We advise clients who are considering divorce or who have just begun the process. Where required we can assist with the administrative aspects of divorce, ensuring online applications are completed accurately and that financial claims are notified to the court at the appropriate time. This can minimise any delay in the process and avoid any negative impact on your financial settlement. After we’ve formed a full picture of your circumstances, we can advise you on the best way to proceed. Remember getting a divorce finalised doesn’t mean everything is resolved. You will also need to ask the court to deal separately with issues around your finances and any arrangements for children.
- Financial Aspects of Divorce and Separation – There are no hard and fast rules about how assets like the family home and pensions are divided on divorce. Courts take multiple factors into account, including the duration of the marriage and your future earning capacity. At Brookman 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. We bring decades of experience to the table, giving us the ability to advise you early on about what a realistic settlement might look like. Our insight and advice can help simplify and shorten even the most bitterly contested divorce.
- Issues That Concern 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. If agreement isn’t possible, we’ll apply to court for the necessary Child Arrangement Order.
- Pre And Post Nuptial Agreements – Increasingly recognised in England and Wales these agreements can help simplify matters in the event of divorce. In appropriate cases, they can also help safeguard family inheritances. We can advise on whether they might be appropriate for you.
- Divorce With An International Angle – Brookman is recognised widely for its experience in international divorces. If there is international property or you or your spouse have connections with another country, your divorce could potentially be decided outside of England and Wales. We advise on how this may impact your financial settlement and child arrangements.
