We provide our clients with expert legal advice and support to help them find the most suitable resolution for their unique circumstances.
Family legal matters such as divorce, separation, and arrangements for children can be complex and emotionally challenging. Without the right approach, resolving these issues can lead to unnecessary time, expense, and stress.
With many years of family law experience, we support clients in finding solutions for issues such as divorce proceedings, prenuptial agreements, and child contact and living arrangements. Our emphasis on non-confrontational dispute resolution allows us to achieve fair outcomes that protect your interests and those of your loved ones, often without requiring court intervention.
We recognise that each client’s situation is unique, and we take the time to understand the complexities involved. Our approach is personalised, efficient, and aims to minimise conflict and stress wherever possible.

At Dee and Griffin Solicitors, we provide a range of family law services to clients across Gloucestershire, ensuring clear, compassionate, and practical advice tailored to your individual needs.
Our divorce lawyers can guide you through the entire divorce process, whether you need help petitioning or responding to a divorce petition, or representation in divorce proceedings. With a strong focus on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), we aim to help you avoid court proceedings, saving time, money, and stress.
Our family lawyers offer specialised support for civil partnership dissolutions, helping you legally end your relationship smoothly. We provide practical advice on topics such as pre-civil partnership agreements and guide you through the unique aspects of civil partnership law.
The financial aspect of separation can often bring more stress and concern than the separation itself. We will guide you in identifying and understanding your financial resources, exploring options like maintenance payments, support for you or your children, property transfers or sales, and pension division.
Our family law experts assist separating couples with reaching fair financial settlements, offering pragmatic advice to achieve solutions without court intervention, wherever possible. We focus on minimising conflict, helping you save time and money.
Prenuptial agreements are growing in popularity, though they may sometimes be viewed as unromantic. However, these agreements provide couples with clarity and peace of mind as they enter a lifelong commitment, particularly where one or both partners have children from a previous relationship.
There are several compelling reasons why these agreements may be beneficial to clients:
Our family lawyers have the expertise needed to negotiate and draft prenuptial agreements, ensuring that both parties’ intentions are carefully considered.
For couples who live together and are not married, we can help create a cohabitation agreement that addresses financial arrangements, shared property, and other practical details. Unfortunately, many couples overlook legal advice when making joint financial commitments, such as purchasing a home, which can lead to challenges if the relationship ends.
While no one likes to think about potential issues at the start of a relationship, it’s essential to understand that cohabiting couples currently hold no legal status.
Our family lawyers can help you create a cohabitation agreement, providing protection for you and your partner no matter what the future holds.
When a relationship ends, children can be deeply affected. we prioritise addressing issues involving children promptly and sensitively, focusing on their welfare to find solutions that serve their best interests.
Our family lawyers are here to help you navigate this process, whether through negotiation, mediation, or applying to the family court if needed. We can also assist with child arrangements orders, defining essential details such as living arrangements, visitation schedules, and contact methods to ensure stability and care for your children.
Our team can help you apply for or secure parental responsibility, protecting your rights as a parent, under even the most challenging circumstances.
If you want to change your name or your child’s name, we can guide you through the process, including obtaining necessary consents to ensure smooth completion of a legally recognised Change of Name Deed.
