“High recommendation for my separation. Although it wasn’t the easiest of conditions, I got amazing service and a much better outcome than I could have imagined. They were a pleasure to deal with, and I couldn’t recommend Beecham Peacock highly enough.” – Alex S.
“Professional from start to finish, always ready to explain things when I wasn’t sure.” – Lynn W.

Family law FAQs
-
How much is a family law solicitor?
The cost of a family law solicitor will depend on the nature of the case and its complexity. At Beecham Peacock, we are proud to offer competitive rates and excellent value for money.
-
Can you get legal aid for family law?
Yes, it is possible to get legal aid for a family law solicitor if you are eligible. To qualify, you’ll need to show that you are at risk of abuse or serious harm, the problem is serious, and you meet the means test. Care proceedings and cases involving social services are automatically entitled to legal aid.
-
Do I still need a solicitor if my partner agrees to the terms of our separation?
We will advise you on whether a separation agreement is fair, and if it is not, we will help you renegotiate. If it is fair, then we will complete the legal formalities on your behalf by preparing documents to show what has been agreed.
Without this, your ex-spouse could make further claims against you in the future. You will have peace of mind and certainty if you let us help you finalise the legal formalities.
-
What do I do if my spouse will not agree to a divorce?
There are ways of obtaining a divorce or dissolution of a civil partnership without the other side’s signature. Our expert family solicitors can advise you further if this is a problem in your case.
-
If I divorce, what will happen to the residence of the children and child contact?
Each case is different. We will advise you on whether an application for a residence or contact order is appropriate in your case or whether more informal arrangements are sufficient.
-
What do I do if my partner has threatened to kill me if I leave or seek legal advice?
Beecham Peacock are very experienced in domestic violence matters. You can consult us in total confidence.
We will tell you what your options are and, if you wish, put you in touch with a worker from a local refuge/domestic abuse support services who can offer confidential assistance. Your partner will not be told. We will advise on steps such as applying for an injunction or other court orders to ensure the safety of yourself and any children.
When you are ready to take action, we will be fully behind you.
