Living Together

The law treats unmarried cohabiting couples very differently to those who are married. If you are considering separation we can advise you on the best way to protect your financial and property interests. This can be a very complicated area of law and your financial position may not be what it seems. We have considerable experience in this area.

Divorce

Family law is complicated. If you are getting divorced or dissolving your civil partnership then we offer clear, confident advice from the outset. We aim to make the legal process as stress free as possible and to get the best result possible. If you want to do it yourself then we can help by offering you as much or as little assistance as you need at a price to fit your pocket.

Children

Married, Civil Partnership or living together, if you have children they are what you value most. After separation parents often fall out over their children and we can help you to get things back on the right track. We will work with you to resolve any issues that you have such as child maintenance, child support and who the children live with.

Property & Money Disputes

Divorce, Civil Partnerships and Separating Couples
Problem Neighbours e.g. nuisance, party wall act problems, trespass, easement and boundary disputes as well as garden law and tenancies.
Disputes over a will on Death. We will get the right outcome for you.

Family Law Arbitration

Arbitration is a way of resolving disputes out side of court. It enables parties to resolve all types of financial disputes more quickly, cheaply and in a more flexible and less formal setting than a court room. Couples agree to use an arbitrator who makes a decision that is legally binding. They do not have to be legally represented and the arbitrator will guide them through the process..

Family Mediation

Mediation helps you to reach a solution to your problem that you are happy with. The Mediator is neutral and mediation is voluntary and confidential. If you can't reach an agreement, you can still go to court. The cost of mediation is shared equally between you and mediation is usually quicker, less stressful and cheaper than going to court. We offer mediation on all issues relating to your family.

Beckett Solicitors - here to help not to judge

The breakdown of your marriage, civil partnership or long term relationship is one of the most traumatic events you will ever have to face. How you deal with that breakdown is crucial to your future happiness.

At Beckett Solicitors we aim to make your divorce or the breakdown of your relationship as stress-free as possible. Our role is to protect what is most important to you: your children, your financial assets, standard of living and your relationships with other family members. With that in mind we offer a variety of services and flexible pricing to meet your individual needs.

How much does it cost? That's a very difficult question to answer without meeting you and discussing your case with you first. However we can promise that our costs are transparent and there are no hidden charges. We offer an initial consultation of up to one hour for £120 to discuss your case, the costs involved and what to do next. You will receive clear, no nonsense advice at this meeting and we will tell you immediately if you do not have a case or if it's worth taking things further. Call us on one of the numbers above to make an appointment - you won't know until you do.

Can't afford a solicitor? Contact us to discuss Fixed Fees and our Pay As You Go (DIY) Service. If you can't afford a solicitor and plan to do it yourself we can also help you to fill out court forms, draft letters and give you advice and assistance throughout. You act for yourself and we are on hand to help when ever you need us. No large, unexpected bills, no delays and complete control over the process. All help is given face to face and paid for at the end of the meeting. Make an appointment to discuss this option as it may be just what you need.

We offer a friendly, personal and cost-effective legal service delivered in a timely manner. We promise to involve you in your case and communicate with you regularly. We want you to feel comfortable talking to us and confident that we care about your problem and understand the issues involved. Although we cannot guarantee the result we do guarantee our service. If we do not perform to your satisfaction, inform us promptly and we will resolve the issue to your satisfaction, even if it means reducing your bill.
