Family

“All three Leeds Day family practitioners are accredited collaborative law or mediation specialists.” (Legal 500).

Our Focus

We understand that separation is often a time of conflict and heartache. If you have decided to separate, you probably have all sorts of questions and worries about what the future holds and how to manage both the practicalities and the emotional impact of the relationship ending. We never lose sight of the real issues that are important to you and we work closely with you to achieve swift, practical and, wherever possible, amicable solutions. We take a sensitive and objective approach to divorce. We see it as our role to guide you through the legal system to use our expertise in dealing with difficult situations to make them as straightforward for you as possible.

Our expertise

Our team includes accredited members of Resolution, collaborative and family mediation specialists.  We are also able to offer Mediation Information and Assessment appointments for clients contemplating Court proceedings for family related matters and offer mediation to both privately paying and legally aided clients; the only firm in Huntingdon, St Ives and St Neots and in Cambridgeshire outside the cities of Cambridge and Peterborough that are able to offer this service.  We can help and advise you on all aspects of family law including:

We subscribe to the Resolution Code of Practice which encourages settlement of disputes by negotiation wherever possible although, where appropriate, we will take effective legal proceedings to protect your interests.

We have specialist knowledge of business and pension issues that may be involved and we can call upon assistance from our other teams on commercial matters, trust issues and investments.

If you have a family problem you can always discuss it with us. No matter how small or large, we will be able to help. To find out more, contact Simon Thomas on 01480 474661 or send us an email to family@leedsday.co.uk.
