Service Offer:
We offer free initial advice with a family solicitor on matters such as divorce and separation, child contact, and domestic abuse.  We also offer help with court paperwork and support for people who are attending family court hearings without a lawyer.

Referral Criteria:
Our service is open to anyone who lives in Norfolk, or whose family case is being heard in a Norfolk court. We particularly welcome clients who may not otherwise be able to access legal advice.
We need to do a conflict of interest check before we can give ANY family law advice. Please include in your referral the name and date of birth of the other party involved in the case (ie the client’s ex-partner/perpetrator of abuse/other parent of the children, etc). This is ESSENTIAL for all family referrals!

Please note that wills and probate do not fall under family law – please contact our general team about this.
