I need a divorce, can I get a family lawyer?

Getting a divorce or experiencing the breakdown of a long term relationship can be really difficult, especially if you have a house and children together.

You can get support with this and complete the process yourself, but if you and your spouse can’t agree you might need to seek some legal advice.

There’s also loads of information and support on the dealing with relationship breakdown and divorce here.

If you need to search for a solicitor, you can do this through the Law Society database.
