FAMILY

Family Law Solicitors in Llandudno & Conwy

Family matters are rarely simple, and they're often emotional too. Accredited by the Law Society's Family Law panel, we aim to resolve things calmly and pragmatically wherever we can, and go to court only when it's genuinely the best option for you.

Our approach

We favour a constructive, non-confrontational approach wherever it's realistic — court should be a last resort, not a first move. Where negotiation or mediation can resolve things with less cost and less stress, that's the route we'll recommend.

Frequently asked questions

Do we have to go to court?

Not necessarily. Many family matters are resolved through negotiation or mediation, which is usually quicker, cheaper and less stressful than court. We'll advise honestly on the best route for your situation.

Are you accredited in family law?

Yes — we're accredited by the Law Society's Family Law panel, and our family team includes a member of Resolution.

More about these services

Divorce and separation

Whether you're ending a marriage or civil partnership, we'll guide you through the legal process from the initial application through to finalising the divorce, working to keep things as straightforward and low-conflict as possible. Read our full guide to divorce, or our guide to separating from your spouse.

Financial remedies and settlements

Sorting out finances — property, pensions, savings and debts — is often the most complex part of a separation. We help reach fair settlements through negotiation, mediation or, where necessary, court. Read our guides to financial settlements on divorce and pensions on divorce.

Children arrangements

We advise on living and contact arrangements for children after separation, always keeping their wellbeing at the centre of any agreement we help put in place.

Cohabitation agreements

If you live with a partner but aren't married, you don't automatically have the same legal protections as married couples. A cohabitation agreement sets out how property, finances and belongings would be dealt with if you separated, giving you both clarity and protection.

Pre- and post-nuptial agreements

These set out how assets would be divided if a marriage ends, giving both parties certainty and often reducing the risk of costly disputes later. We can draft an agreement before or after the wedding.

Domestic abuse protection

We can help you apply for court orders — such as non-molestation or occupation orders — to protect you and your family, and can act quickly where there's an urgent need for safety.
