Domestic violence

If you are in an abusive or violent relationship and find yourself reading this page then it is likely you are considering getting help and advice. Legal Aid is still available to eligible applicants in cases where domestic violence is present.

We recognise that accepting that there is domestic violence in your relationship is difficult and taking action to bring an end to the relationship is even more difficult.

If you are ready to take the next steps and seek advice we offer a range of ways to get in touch. Firstly, call us for some free initial telephone advice. We can tell you if you are likely to be eligible for legal aid. If you are not eligible we offer an affordable £149 Ask the Expert Session which gets you 45 minutes face to face advice with one of our Family law Solicitors.

All conversations are in complete confidence. We work at your pace and can help you understand the various ways the law can help protect you from an abusive relationship.

You can get in contact with us by calling 01522 523215 or sending a message via the simple on line enquiry forms on this web page.

Family law

Adoption

If you are thinking of adopting a child here in the UK or overseas getting early legal advice can help you through the journey. Adopting a child is understandably heavily regulated process which can make it a complex area of law.

Arrangements for children

We know that your Children are your number one priority especially during relationship breakdown. Here at Burton & Co our family law team never lose sight of the wellbeing of your children whilst handling the other aspects of your case.

Change of name

Burton & Co can help you to change your name quickly and safely.

Domestic violence

Living together

Couples living together without getting married or entering into a civil partnership can share all the aspects of married life without some of the legal protections.

Prenuptial agreements

The law relating to Pre-Nuptial Agreements is going through changes and are not commonly used in England and Wales but are likely to be more common in the future.
