Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for EU Cross Border Maintenance, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Cross-border maintenance deals with securing or sharing ongoing financial support for children or a former partner when one parent or party lives outside England. A solicitor practising this area helps clients identify which country’s rules apply, and how to enforce or obtain maintenance across borders under applicable laws and international cooperation frameworks. They handle applications for child support or spousal maintenance, coordinate with foreign authorities, and prepare or respond to evidence, orders, and variations in multiple jurisdictions. In practice, the work may be shaped by evolving international cooperation regimes and post-Brexit arrangements affecting cross-border enforcement.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A solicitor’s role includes drafting and lodging cross-border applications or defenses, gathering financial information, negotiating with overseas authorities, and pursuing or resisting enforcement of maintenance orders in or from the other jurisdiction. They may coordinate with the Child Maintenance Service and import or translate documentation, explain international procedures to the client, and ensure compliance with both domestic and international procedures. Complexities arise from differing jurisdictions, time limits, and the need to secure timely payments across borders.

I went to Kidwells solicitors in Hereford and had a fantastic experience. Caitlin assisted me in a financial matter regarding my divorce. She was knowledgeable and with her help I was guided to a satisfactory outcome. Can’t praise Caitlin highly enough.

Melanie Hamer

Tagged solicitor Melanie Hamer

A family friend and several acquaintances recommended Melanie Hamer at Wendy Hopkins and I fully endorse their opinions as I am indebted to Melanie and her Team for taking on my case. I was unfortunately positioned by another Family Lawyer in a rather precarious position just weeks ahead of my FDR. It became apparent that my former legal representation were positioning to withdraw their support and would not meet to face-to-face to discuss strategy. Despite the complexity and longevity of the case, Melanie and her Team were able to reassure me that they could provide support and more importantly prepare for the FDR. At extreme short notice with 12 lever arch files to digest, Melanie and the Team reacted swiftly and successfully represented me at FDR. There were further legal quality gates that had to be navigated, yet the dedication, professionalism and competence demonstrated by Melanie and her Team ensured that we were fully prepared for Counsel briefings and were consequently able to deliver at Court. Melanie is an excellent listener, shows empathy for her clients and respected my opinions. Strategizing together was personally paramount throughout my litigation and Melanie had faith, belief and trust in my approach which was so important. Reassuring, tenacious, professional, knowledgeable, engaging and being prepared to meet in person were several of the attributes I appreciated from working with Wendy Hopkins Family Law Practice. On reflection, I wish I had contracted Melanie and The Team from the outset of my case and I fully recommend them if you wish to work collaboratively, effectively and with a complete professional who is compassionate and reassuring

Lindsay McKinnie

Tagged solicitor Lindsay McKinnie

I cannot be more grateful to Lindsay, throughout a very distressing time. To say the least I would recommend her 100%! Her conduct was not only very professional, but kind and down to earth. She made my family feel valued and supported. Lindsays communication with us was constant, replying by text, when she was unable to speak directly, giving reassurance when needed. She communicated everything we needed to know, throughly & made sure everything was understood, at every point of her service. At no point did we feel that there were any concerns of neglect, towards us or the situation we were dealing with. Lindsay remained focused and gave us peace of mind. This meant so much & was so important. Thank you!

Chris TaylorZahra Nawaz

Tagged solicitors Chris Taylor and Zahra Nawaz

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Eaton Smith twice now, and both experiences have been fantastic. Chris assisted me with the EULA for my indie game, and his kindness, thoroughness, and incredibly fast email responses made the entire process seamless. Later, when I needed a solicitor for my prenup, I immediately turned to Chris, who connected me with Zahra. She was just as professional and kind, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. She even caught an error in our documents at 8 PM on a Friday and reached out immediately to help us fix it. Their level of attentiveness and professionalism is truly exceptional, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal services.

Nicola Weeks

Tagged solicitor Nicola Weeks

Pragmatic but essential guidance through divorce proceedings. It was very important to both of us that we didn't fall out and make a bad situation worse, and Nicola worked with me and my now ex-wife's solicitor to ensure that any queries or potentially contentious issues were quickly and positively closed down. The orders were proposed and agreed promptly and the whole exercise was as painless as it could be in the circumstances.
