THE FULL SERVICE legal firm in the Scottish Borders

 

Family break-up must be one of the hardest times imaginable.  There are always stresses and strains connected with both the immediate aftermath of separation and, on occasion, at later stages as well.

 

We have a range of Solicitors available to deal with your matrimonial problems.  These can relate, for example, to divorce, separation, contact/access, interdict from harassments, capital claims, parental rights and adoptions.  With our wealth of experience we can lend a sympathetic ear to every client, and provide them with the right advice for the situation.

 

There are rarely quick or easy answers upon separation, whether the couple are married or not, and finding the best solution is part of our target.

 

The client always comes first in this situation and their needs and aspirations must be dealt with sympathetically and in an understanding fashion.  We pride ourselves on our ability to react to changing situations and to be able to provide clients with the right type of advice or court action as necessary.

 

Maintenance for separating couples (whether spouses or not) is often a contentious issue, dealing with the Child Support Agency is never easy for an individual, and disputes over contact to children can become very fraught.  We will lead you through the minefield of the Family Law (Scotland) Act and of the Children (Scotland) Act as this is something that we do on a daily basis for our clients.

 

Representing clients in Child Welfare Hearings, in divorce, children’s panels and maintenance claims are part of a role that we fulfil regularly and well.  Occupation of one’s home, is often governed by the Matrimonial Homes (Family Protection) (Scotland) Act and the Prevention from Abuse Act, and we are privileged to provide advice and seek protection for our clients on a regular basis.

 

At Bannerman Burke you will find the answers to your situation and we have Solicitors with many, many years in experience of dealing with all aspects of separation and the relating to Court processed that are sometimes required.  We always endeavour to assist the client in resolving their differences out-with the Court process, but if matters have to progress that far then you are in good hands when selecting Bannerman Burke.  We do provide legal aid if needed.
