    In Wales family work covers the same range of personal matters as in England: divorce and civil partnership dissolution, separation and cohabitation disputes, financial remedy work, child arrangements and protection, adoption, surrogacy and public law care proceedings. Solicitors draft petitions and financial disclosure, negotiate and record consent orders and settlement deeds, apply for non‑molestation and occupation orders and represent clients in the Family Court sitting in Wales; they also engage with Welsh local authorities and adoption agencies in care and placement matters. Cases are shaped by the child welfare principle and full financial disclosure.

    “I am currently with your Solicitors going through a divorce, financial matters and child contact arrangements. This is such a hard time for me to go through but I would not be where I am without Helen, she is absolutely fantastic and a credit to your firm. I would recommend her to anyone who is in the situation to need a family Solicitor. Also dealing with my case is Helen's trainee Solicitor Rachael who again is brilliant and is a great support. But Helen, I honestly can't speak highly enough of her, she is amazing. Louise is always there at the end of the phone for me as many times as I call, she is always helpful.”

    “I would like to share my thanks to Beth Sheridan for her support with my initial consultation. There is lots of common misconception and false information when it comes to protecting your assets when relationships turn sour. At this time, you need a good listener who shows empathy and compassion but most importantly has a wealth of knowledge and experience, so that you feel comfortable discussing your situation. Beth helped me to understand the process of pursuing my case so that I could make an informed decision about the best course of action. Based on my experiences so far, I would absolutely recommend Beth and her team at Stowe Family Law.”

    “I highly recommend Bethan Tapper at Wendy Hopkins, I talked to a few other solicitors regarding my case and they all dismissed me; I started to feel dishearten before reaching out to Bethan. Bethan listened and not only took the time to understand the situation but did the research and work to win the case. I am very grateful for her and can't recommend her enough.”

    “I used Angela Killa to assist me with my son, absolutely fantastic! Honest, upfront and made me at ease with the whole situation! My son now enjoys the best of both worlds , he has equal time with me and his mum and he couldn't be happier!! I have no doubt that the best outcome was reached, not just for me or his mum but for him aswell! Everyone is happy now and most importantly the child is and that's what it is all about! So I have no hesitation whatsoever about recommending JCP solicitors at all!! Especially Angela Killa who professionally made life very easy in a difficult situation.”
