Family & Matrimonial Law
At Wilson Browne Solicitors we understand how deeply personal and often stressful family matters can be; whether it’s separation, divorce, child arrangements, or protecting your future and assets.
Our Family Law team supports you every step of the way, helping with everything from divorces (including “no‑fault divorce”), financial and property matters, cohabitation and prenuptial agreements, to issues around children; custody, residence, and child arrangements. If you prefer a more amicable route, we also offer experienced mediation to help you and your former partner reach fair, sensible agreements without court stress.
With transparent, straightforward fees and an approach rooted in empathy, we aim to guide you gently through a difficult time and give you clarity, confidence, and peace of mind for the future.
