Family Law

Paperweight understands that family breakdown can be one of the most difficult and emotional experiences a person will face. With extensive knowledge of the legal and financial issues that arise during and after family breakdown, we are here to guide and support you with clarity, sensitivity, and care.

We take the time to explain your options in plain language, helping you make informed decisions that are right for you and your family. As legal aid is no longer available in most family law cases, (except where there is documented evidence of abuse), having the right support is more important than ever. Paperweight will stand alongside you throughout the process, explaining each stage of the legal journey and court proceedings, assisting with the preparation of all necessary documents, and, where appropriate, working collaboratively with the Beth Din in relation to the Get process.

From the early stages of separation through to the Final Order, we can help with a wide range of family matters, including:

• Child Arrangements and Contact Orders
• Prohibited Steps and Specific Issue Orders
• Financial arrangements
• Non-Molestation and Occupation Orders

We offer practical, hands-on assistance with completing forms and making court applications, ensuring nothing feels overwhelming or unclear. If you need to attend court, we can also arrange for a supportive presence to accompany you known as a McKenzie Friend, providing reassurance and calm during what can feel like an intimidating experience.

At what may be an incredibly challenging time, we are here every step of the way. Our aim is to ensure you feel listened to, supported, and empowered, so you can move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
