This work covers who may live in the family home during relationship breakdown, how property interests are held, and what happens if the home must be shared, sold, or valued for a future settlement. A solicitor in this area helps with occupancy and protective orders, such as arranging who can stay in the home, and with negotiating or applying for orders that impact ownership, occupancy, and use of the home in divorce or separation proceedings. The work is shaped by the underlying family law framework, including how the court protects vulnerable parties and how assets are reorganised on separation.
The decisive steps include applying for or resisting occupation orders, determining who has a beneficial interest or entitlement in the home, and resolving how the property is valued or potentially sold as part of a financial settlement. The solicitor supports protection of a client’s position through relevant court orders, disclosure of financial information, and liaison with the other side to reach a outcome that reflects the family’s needs and the welfare of any children.

Tagged solicitor Melanie Bridgen
I contacted Melanie Bridgen from Nelsons Solicitors in Derby for advice in child arrangement. Her knowledge was more than I could ask for. She helped me through every concern I had and with her colleague Melanie Theakstone put together my wishes, contacted my ex, made sure that everything I legally wanted it was written down as clear for the court application as possible. They followed my case through CAFCASS and the final court order. Mrs. Bridgen had straight questions, and answers to everything. They took the process of my shoulder, and in 2 months I have received the final order from court (with Christmas included). I cannot be more thankful for their job and knowledge.

Was drowning with stress when my partner decided to divorce me, My cousin used Zena during his separation and he advised me to use her expertise. I did and I am so glad I did, Stress was lifted immediately and although a divorce is harrowing the advise and support from Zena made the whole experience manageable. Thank you so much for your help

Tagged solicitor Ian Brunt
I worked with Ian regarding an Adoption case. I am an Advocate and I was the Litigation Friend for Dad. Ian was fantastic with the person I was supporting. Ian took time to explain to Dad, in great, simplistic language, what was happening, what Dad's rights where, and how I could help, and Ian could help too. Myself and Ian had a wonderful working relationship, ensuring the best possible outcome for Dad, working in joint partnership. Ian took great steps to explain in clear and honest communication what Dad's rights were, even in what was a very difficult case. Ian was knowledgeable, professional, responsive and always had a friendly smile to greet us. I would use Ian again and would recommend him to the colleagues in my organisation.
