Family Law

At Colchester solicitors Asher Prior Bates we understand that issues around the breakdown of your family can be amongst the most difficult you may face in life. Our team of family solicitors based in Essex is headed by Michael Hicks.  We give people advice, with the upmost sensitivity, about the financial and legal implications of separation, divorce, the care of children, ownership of property and financial matters.

We also advise clients on procedures involved, both for those that are married and those who cohabit. The team are increasingly called upon to advise and assist with drafting pre-­nuptial, post nuptial, separation and cohabitation agreements.

We ensure that our team keeps abreast of changes in the legal system, such as Government cuts on Legal Aid and can try to offer couples innovative solutions to complex problems.Please see our blog section on practical advice on divorce law

Costs
To set aside the worry of potential mounting legal costs, we offer new clients an initial fixed fee interview for £50 + VAT, where we advise on relevant aspects of Family Law. In most cases we are also able to offer a fixed fee divorce package for £500 (exc VAT and disbursements).
