Law firms ranked by client reviews
In Scotland family work covers dissolution of marriage and civil partnership, financial claims on relationship breakdown, arrangements for children, adoption and surrogacy, protection from harassment and public child protection work involving social work and the children’s hearings system. A solicitor will raise a divorce or dissolution action in the sheriff court or Court of Session, prepare minutes of agreement recording financial settlements, apply for interdicts and orders about contact and residence, instruct welfare and valuation experts, and represent pursuers or defenders at sheriff court hearings or in related hearings where required. Matters follow Scottish family procedure and the welfare-focused approach to children’s cases.
