Navigating Divorce & Separation with Expert Guidance

Experiencing the breakdown of a relationship can be a deeply unsettling period in your life, filled with sleepless nights and concerns about what the future holds. Rest assured, you are not alone in this journey.

Our team of trusted legal professionals stands ready to guide you through this challenging phase. We are committed to protecting your best interests and helping you navigate the legal maze of divorce and separation. Our goal is to secure the most favourable outcome for you and your family, minimising heartache, costs, and anxiety, enabling you to confidently step into your new life chapter.

Nearly half of all marriages culminate in divorce, often marking one of the most distressing periods in an individual's life. The process of deciding whether to separate can span months or even years, with the subsequent step of taking action requiring immense courage.

It's natural for emotions to surge during this time, with fears of the unknown and apprehensions about post-separation life. Worries about financial management and discussing the situation with children can add to the stress.

Unfortunately, there's no instant remedy for these challenges. However, the choices you make now and the steps you take will significantly shape your future.

That's where our expertise comes into play. The future is in your hands, and we are here to ensure you make informed decisions that best serve your interests.

Ready to take the next step? Contact us for a complimentary, no-obligation consultation. Let our experts guide you towards a brighter, more secure future.

The future is in your hands and we are here to help.

    Elizabeth is a real star! she is absolutely amazing in her knowledge of the Law as well as her experience. She gave me the moral support I needed at a time when I was most vulnerable with even being on the phone with me prior to the court case as I was such a bag of nerves at the time. Elizabeth has a way where she has been able to calm me down just before these court cases and has given me the guidance and support that I needed at the time. I am absolutely amazed with the service provided by Elizabeth.

    After choosing Parfitt Cresswell to handle my divorce matters, I have found this company to be very open & transparent with the challenges that can come with instigating divorce. My solicitor, Zanariah Webster, has been very professional throughout a difficult 2yr divorce process, informing me of all correspondences & helping me to plan as best as possible for a fair & just outcome. Zanariah was able to perfectly match the right Barrister for my 2 court hearings & I felt assured that my interests were always at top of mind. I would have no hesitation to recommend this company for anyone having to go through a similar legal process.

  • Sharon Micuta
    Star Star Star Star Star

    I am writing this to share my experiences of working with Parfitt Cresswell as a firm and in particular my solicitor, Sharon Micuta. My divorce is finally coming to a close now but it has taken well over a year to get this far. I can honestly say without Sharon’s expertise and ‘Going the extra mile’ attitude to assisting me, I would have been totally lost in this stressful process long ago. Sharon has always been on hand to guide me through the labyrinth that is family law. My priority has always been making sure my dependants are looked after appropriately during and after the divorce itself. Whether in a face to face consultation, over the phone or on email, Sharon has always given me great guidance without ever forgetting that I am the client and I have choices. She was also always mindful that I had a limited budget. Many times, our conversations were in depth and complicated whereas on other occasions they may have been nothing more than a reassuring chat - either way, I always felt much better about things after speaking with Sharon. The case ultimately went to court with Sharon and her excellent choice of barrister being supportive and clear on the process at every step. I can not recommend Sharon and Parfitt Cresswell highly enough for anyone facing the tough journey through financial separation.

    Dear Sharon, Thank you for your continued support during family proceedings. When I first visited Parfitt Cresswell I had no idea of the family court system and felt overwhelmed and scared for the future. You have been a tower of strength and advised me diplomatically and in a caring manner at all stages. Thank you for making a very stressful part of my life bearable. I wholeheartedly recommend Parfitt Cresswell.
