FAMILY AND MATRIMONIAL
Max Engel has had a Family and Matrimonial Department for more than 50 years. Since the late eighties Richard Adamson has headed the department.
All forms of divorce proceedings and associated finance for both adults and children are covered, together with disputes between unmarried couples, and also all aspects of child law, with the exception of public care proceedings. The firm has successfully represented clients at all levels including a successful outcome in a leading case in the Court of Appeal.
The firm subscribes to the ideals of Resolution and full use is made of “tried and tested” mediation services.
Our aim is to provide a complete and confidential service for our clients utilising a caring and sympathetic approach, backed up by vigorous representation as and when needed.
No public funding work is undertaken, but, on request, the firm will consider budget plans to meet fees in a supportive and realistic way.
We can also advise on both pre- and post- nuptial agreements to regulate finances between a couple both before and after a marriage or civil partnership.
Any couple thinking of living together might also benefit from a discussion with us as we can prepare paperwork which can avoid future disputes.
