Our Approach

The end of a personal relationship will probably give rise to one of the most stressful and traumatic periods in anyone’s life, even if it is of your choosing, and especially if it is not. At KGW Family law our aim is to alleviate your concerns and consider your opportunities, providing sensitive and experienced guidance at an acutely difficult time.

At KGW Family Law we will help you identify solutions that work for you and your family, helping you to adapt to the realities of your new situation and to move forward to an agreeable financial outcome and child centred parenting arrangements.

Many of those facing the uncertainty of separation believe that they can hand over any decision-making to the judiciary operating within the court system, often seeking some form of retribution and sometimes even punishment for the person they consider to be at fault. The divorce system in England and Wales is not fault based. The process through the court often fails to meet expectations. Delays are inevitable and dissatisfaction is frequent. Life-changing decisions are often made in stressful and unsuitable circumstances. Costs invariably exceed expectations. Emotions can become overwhelming and potentially damaging.

Our approach at KGW Family Law is to endeavour to take away the stress, uncertainty and cost of the court process. We will discuss with each client at the outset their individual needs and aspirations. Through the options of constructive negotiation, mediation, or collaborative practice we will seek to help you work towards the construction of your own outcome, achieving successful resolution of all issues, both now and for your future.
