Divorce & Separation

Divorce & Separation Solicitors

Family breakdown can be emotionally and financially draining. If you’re facing divorce or separation, it’s difficult to know who to turn to for advice.

If you choose to contact Sills & Betteridge Solicitors regarding divorce or separation, you will have the peace of mind knowing that you are dealing with experts.

Whatever your issue, we are committed to offering you a service which minimises the emotional and financial impact upon you, with your interests and those of your family coming first.

We can also assist with pre-nuptial agreements, civil partnership dissolutions, issues relating to domestic abuse and issues relating to your children.

We have experienced teams available in Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and the East Midlands who are able to deal with every aspect of family law. Our family law department is one of the largest and most successful in the county and our lawyers are members of Resolution (formerly known as the Solicitors’ Family Law Association), and also the Law Society Children Panel, the Law Society Family Law Panel, the Law Society Mediation Panel and the Association of Child Abuse Lawyers. We also have collaborative lawyers.
