How Our Family Law Solicitors Can Help
Our Leeds family law team advises on the full range of family law matters. Whether you are considering divorce, need advice about your finances, are involved in a dispute concerning your children or require urgent protection, we can help.
Divorce and Separation
We advise clients at every stage of divorce and separation, from initial advice and commencing divorce proceedings through to resolving the financial and practical consequences of a relationship breakdown.
Where appropriate, we will seek to resolve matters through negotiation. Where court proceedings are necessary, our experienced family lawyers can provide robust representation throughout the process.

Financial Settlements on Divorce
Reaching a financial settlement can be one of the most important and complex aspects of divorce. We advise on the division of property, savings, investments, pensions, businesses, income and other assets.
Our solicitors regularly deal with substantial and complex financial cases, including matters involving businesses, multiple properties, pensions and high-value assets.

High Net Worth Divorce
Our family law team has experience dealing with high-value and complex divorce cases involving significant property portfolios, businesses, investments, pensions and other assets.
We provide strategic advice designed to protect our clients' financial position while seeking a fair and practical resolution.
Children Law
Disputes concerning children can be particularly difficult. Our specialist children law solicitors advise parents and other family members on child arrangements, where a child should live, how much time they should spend with each parent, parental responsibility and applications to relocate with children.
We also deal with complex cases involving safeguarding concerns and allegations of harm.

Unmarried Couples
The law applying to unmarried couples is very different from the law applying to married couples. There is no general concept of a “common law marriage” giving separating couples the same financial claims available on divorce.
We advise unmarried couples on property disputes, financial issues and claims relating to children.

Domestic Abuse and Injunctions
Where urgent protection is required, our family solicitors can advise on applications for non-molestation orders, occupation orders and other protective measures.
We understand that these cases can require immediate action and will explain the options available to you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Family Law
How much does a family solicitor cost?
Do I need a solicitor to get divorced?
You can apply for a divorce yourself, but the divorce itself does not automatically resolve financial claims between spouses. Legal advice can therefore be particularly important when dealing with property, pensions, savings, businesses and other financial matters.
How are finances divided on divorce?
There is no automatic formula that applies to every divorce. The court considers the circumstances of the case and the statutory factors, including the parties' resources, needs, ages, length of the marriage, standard of living and contributions. The welfare of any minor children is also an important consideration.
Can a family solicitor help with child arrangements?
Yes. We advise on disputes about where children live, how much time they spend with each parent and other important decisions concerning their upbringing. Where agreement cannot be reached, it may be necessary to consider an application to the Family Court.
Can Sugare & Co represent me if I don't live in Leeds?
Yes. Although our offices are in Leeds, we represent family law clients throughout Yorkshire and nationally. Meetings can often take place by telephone or video where attending our Leeds office is inconvenient.
