Child Arrangements & Divorce

I can wholeheartedly recommend Rachel Nicholl, Grace Savage, Eden Palmer and the rest of the Horsham team. I reached out to the firm under extremely stressful circumstances (having received aggressive and unpleasant correspondence from a city firm instructed by my daughter's father which demanded response within 24 hours). From the very first meeting with Rachel and Grace, I felt reassured that I would be supported, listened to, and given appropriate and sensible guidance and advice. Ultimately, I am so pleased with the outcome, and know that I could only have achieved this with their team's support. Thanks to their hard work, I am now able to focus on building a new life for myself and my child and moving forwards as a coparent.

Long Term Family Court Proceedings

Sadly, there is never really a positive reason that you would have to engage solicitors but if you find that you are in a position whereby you have no choice I would recommend Family Law Partners every single time.

It was a long, hard journey but at every single step my partner and I were given measured expert advice which put us on a clear direction with our expectations managed throughout a daunting process.

There isn’t a solicitor in the world who can guarantee the outcome you want but we worked collaboratively with Kate and her team and on the occasion where one of our opinions differed we were always able to take stock and work through to the most practicable route forward.

The statistics to achieve the positive outcome we did together was and still is extremely low but through everyone’s expertise, collaboration and problem solving skills we moved mountains and went a long way to safeguarding and ensuring a child had a balanced life, with both parents having a 50:50 shared care arrangement.

Thankyou Kate and team, we will be forever grateful for the help you gave and the skills you taught us.

Brilliant

Family Law Partners in Horsham were such a huge help with a very protracted, drawn-out divorce that at times seemed never ending. Hannah was able to explain lots of complex things clearly and efficiently, she worked hard to keep costs down and always dealt with matters in a timely fashion. She regularly checked in to see how things were going and was a calming presence in a highly stressful, emotional situation. Her communication was excellent and she was always able to put my mind at rest. I would strongly recommend Hannah to anybody navigating a difficult divorce.

A long and winding road

My relationship with FLP began shortly before the first lockdown, only ending more than three years later after a protracted divorce process drawn, out further by court backlogs and pandemic-related delays. FLP were a delight to work with: thoroughly professional and courteous at all times. I was particularly impressed by their willingness to carefully explain the intricacies of process that can at times be complex and stressful. I cannot recommend them highly enough - lovely people to work with.

Wise Counsel

Charlotte provided wise counsel in challenging circumstances to protect the interests of her client. Advice was both measured and balanced thereby gaining a favourable outcome without recourse to the costs of court. Detailed explanations were given to proposed courses of action. Importantly, Charlotte offered constructive review of client proposals before their submission and any adjustment made to such proposals was arrived at by shared dialogue. She was sensitive to the needs of her client breaking more complex aspects of the matter into clearly, understood components. Outcome through negotiation was a central tenet of the process. Highly approachable, we are most grateful for the service she provided to our family.

Find a solicitor who specialises in the area of the law you require

If you are unfortunate enough to be making a tortuous TOLATA claim on a property as the non resident co-owner, my advice based on my experience would be to avoid this firm. Seek out a firm with more specialist knowledge. My solicitor was happy to bat letters back and forth with a hostile other side as my bill mounted significantly. I have since discovered from a more specialist solicitor that much of the correspondence was irrelevant to my case.

I have had dealings with three solicitors from the Horsham branch during my two year divorce proceedings, all of which have demonstrated compassion and kindness. Polly has been exceptional throughout and has demonstrated excellent technical knowledge and steered a difficult case to conclusion. She has supported me throughout, taking my views and concerns into account.

I can not recommend Family Law Partners more highly. I have experienced the most professional and caring service I could of ever hope for. Throughout my time in their care they have demonstrated an ability, rigour and experience that provided my family with the support and attention that my matter was in need of. Their service has changed my life for the better and I am forever grateful that I found them.

Really appreciated the thorough and efficient service that Polly and Kate have provided. This is a top notch family law firm who helped me through an unspeakably difficult divorce. They are very understanding and they worked hard to keep my costs down as much as possible. Polly went above and beyond even working at weekends. Thank you both!
