Many people think of family disputes as stressful and conflict-heavy, but this does not have to be the case. We offer a range of alternative dispute resolution services which foster a much more cooperative atmosphere between parties in the hope to avoid court altogether.

Our specialist solicitors can:

• Litigate – Raise Court proceedings on your behalf. Bring your case and represent you in court where both sides of the case will be heard and the outcome determined by the Court,
• Mediate – This is where you and the other parties work with an independent mediator to come to achieve a resolution.
• Pursue arbitration – Uniquely our specialist can attend an arbitration on your behalf alternatively, we can offer an arbitration. We have a qualified arbitrator on our team. This is similar to Court but less time-consuming and expensive. You may also agree to go to an independent arbitrator who will hear the parties and make a decision. This results in a legally binding outcome.

Of course, sometimes the appropriate course of action will be to go through the courts and in that case, you can be reassured that our experienced, trustworthy family law team will be with you all the way.

The Process for Divorcing in Edinburgh

The next common question after deciding that you want to break your marriage or civil partnership is how to actually go about doing so. Depending on your situation and whether the divorce is amicable or not, the process you must take to obtain a divorce can change.

As long as you can agree on a financial settlement between yourselves, you can use what is known as a streamlined procedure if you don’t have any children under the age of 16 and your partner has consented to the divorce.

You will be compelled to follow the standard procedure if the divorce is not amicable or if you have minor children. This is also true if you and your spouse are unable to agree on the grounds for divorce or if there are unresolved financial matters. The case is probably going to court rather than just filling out paperwork at your local sheriff court.
