This time of year is often a time of reflection, when many people decide to make changes and address problems in their personal relationships.

Whether you are thinking about separating from the person you live with, ending your marriage, or dissolving your civil partnership, the experienced family law team at Ansons Solicitors can help.

Ansons understands that it can be very difficult to make decisions about your relationships especially when it affects your children and your future financial stability. It is at precisely this time that you need advice you can rely on from someone you can trust.

Ansons Solicitors now also offer couples an alternative way of resolving family disputes, known as collaborative law. Each person and their lawyer attend a series of meetings where other professionals such as accountants, pension experts and financial advisors can be called upon to help reach a negotiated agreement.

As the collaborative process puts couples in control, promoting honesty instead of mistrust, it is often the quickest way to find a constructive solution to disputes about children or finances.

For more information on collaborative family law contact Jacqueline Dugard in the family law team on 01543 431 193 or email jdugard@ansons.law. Ansons Solicitors has offices in Cannock and Lichfield, Staffordshire.
