Family law and divorce solicitors in Leeds

Our award-winning team — one of the largest in the North — provides tailored legal advice and guidance covering all areas of family law:

• Alternative dispute resolution — ADR has grown in popularity as a quicker, more cost-effective way to achieve a bespoke result in respect of financial matters and child arrangements. It's often seen as a better alternative to traditional court proceedings, even in complex cases.
• Child arrangements — we advise on all aspects of child law, including child arrangement orders, adoption, abduction, relocation and financial considerations. We'll help you to find the best possible solution for you and your children, always putting their needs first and helping you to move forward with confidence.
• Co-habitation — it's a misconception that couples who live together enjoy the same financial rights as a married couple — 'common-law marriage' doesn't exist. Instead, a cohabitation agreement can provide financial security and certainty.
• Divorce and financial settlements — divorce or separation can be a difficult time, especially if yours isn't straightforward or has an international element. We make everything as simple as possible, guiding you through the entire process and safeguarding your interests.
• Fertility, surrogacy and parenthood — you may be exploring routes to parenthood or have an issue arising from your family’s circumstances. Our highly-regarded team has helped to shape the rapidly-evolving area of fertility law.
• Pre- and post-nuptial agreements — a prenup or postnup agreement is a pragmatic way of safeguarding your assets should your relationship break down in future. While negotiating terms has the potential to raise tensions, we can walk you through every stage.

Family law can be complex and highly specialised. The issues involved can also be very emotionally challenging. 

As well as being preeminent leaders in their family law fields, members of our team in Leeds are Resolution accredited. 

We adopt a tailored, empathetic, strategic and results-focused approach. Whatever your situation may be, we can help you to fully understand your legal options.

Our family law team covers the entire Leeds region. This includes the city centre and areas such as Alwoodley, Bramhope, Boston Spa, Horsforth, Otley, Pool-in-Wharfedale, Roundhay and Wetherby.

We also routinely advise clients slightly further afield — in areas like Addingham, Ilkley, Knaresborough and Harrogate — and can work flexibly across Yorkshire, including all major cities like Bradford, Huddersfield, Hull, Sheffield and York.

Our team handles cases of all shapes and sizes, including those with an international complexion and those on behalf of high-net-worth individuals with significant assets.

You can discuss yours face-to-face with us at our welcoming office in Leeds or, if you’d prefer, we can work with you remotely.
