Overview

Our divorce solicitors will support your best interests in court

Negotiating in your best interests

When a relationship ends, many couples choose to negotiate their divorce through lawyers. This can be an effective and fair way to reach a resolution. At Tees, we have an experienced team who understand the issues you face, and will guide you through the process with the least possible friction, always working for your best interests.

Support through the court process

Divorces sometimes run into obstacles that can’t be resolved through negotiation, mediation or collaborative law. When this happens it might be necessary, and helpful, to set up a formal court process. Our team can initiate the court process and support you throughout.

Putting you in control of your divorce

Court proceedings are not necessarily a hostile step. They can be a way of ensuring your case makes progress according to a fixed timetable. Many court proceedings are resolved early, without the need for a final hearing and a decision by a judge.
