Family, Matrimonial & Relationship

The breakdown of a relationship can be one of the most traumatic periods of anyone's life. Naturally, you will be concerned about your current financial and property arrangements and how it will affect any children you may have.

Our thriving Family Team advises and represents clients in all types of family matters including divorce, cohabitee disputes, children and financial disputes.

We are used to advising clients in difficult emotional situations. We provide constructive and effective, yet sympathetic personal advice tailored to your individual circumstances and requirements. We offer prompt and practical advice on how to cope with problems and resolve them.

Solving family law problems often involves many other aspects of the law. Our Family Team can call on the expertise of other departments within the firm whenever necessary to advise, for example, on company law and tax and trust issues.

Our Family Team has considerable experience in advising clients from all backgrounds with all types of problems and disputes.

Based in Truro, matrimonial and family specialist Lynne Bray has an impressive background of over 24 years local experience of dealing with difficult divorce cases, ancillary relief and child matters.  She is a particular favourite with clients and comes highly recommended from members of the Cornwall family bar. 

Lynne works closely alongside Legal Executive Lisa Haywood, who specialises in cohabitation issues.  Lisa is a strong litigator with a practical approach and so able to conclude cases through compromise as well as through the Courts.

Please note that we do not currently hold a Legal Services Commission family law franchise (formerly called Legal Aid).
