Family & Matrimonial
No couple sets out with an aim to become separated or divorced. But, when a relationship breaks down and it feels like the only solution, you need to know someone is there to support you through one of the most difficult periods in your life.
It’s important to find the right family solicitor to guide you through times of intense emotion and anxiety. At Nyland and Beattie Solicitors we ensure you get the help you need, combining expert advice with a sensitive approach to fully understand your specific needs and how to address them.
Your Family Matters
Nyland & Beattie solicitors support hundreds of individuals and families each year with family law matters. Sympathetic and unbiased, you’ll benefit from experienced family lawyers to help you reach the best resolution for your family.
Divorce
A divorce ends a marriage legally, and can be a straightforward amicable process. However, finalising a divorce can become more complicated when finances, property, or children are involved.
Nyland and Beattie divorce solicitors are on hand to take you through each step of your formal separation or divorce, from your earliest inquiry to the final stages. Offering professional advice and personalised to your needs, you can have confidence that your individual circumstances are taken into account fully when decisions need to be made.
Financial Issues
In any partnership, you will have shared and contributed to the finances involved in running a household and maintaining a family. And, following a divorce or separation, each partner should receive the full and fair amount that they are entitled to in any settlement.
Our family law solicitors are experienced in handling financial issues arising from a family break-up, from arranging pre-nuptial agreements to helping you to access assets and achieve business valuations, we’ll do all we can to ensure your financial disputes are resolved quickly, so you can start afresh.
Disputes Involving Children
Protecting your child is a responsibility shared by parents long after a divorce has been finalised. Deciding what’s best for them, from education and religion to medical treatment, can sometimes lead to disagreements and disputes between caregivers.
Nyland & Beattie Solicitors work with families to encourage a consensual and voluntary resolution to child related disputes, recommending professional services with the full co-operation of both parents before progressing to the courts if a suitable outcome cannot be decided.
Child Maintenance
If you’re finding that you’re not receiving enough in payments, are paying too much, or your agreement isn’t working, instructing a family law solicitor from Nyland and Beattie can help. From negotiating family-based arrangements to professional legal advice in the event of a court order, we help to get things back on track.
Civil Partnerships
Ending a relationship is never easy, but if you find your civil partnership is no longer working, seeking advice from a family law solicitor can make things a little easier.
Our team of solicitors manage every legal aspect of a formal dissolution, and offer professional assistance through the complexity of the dissolution process, from making decisions about the distribution of property, finance, children, and other assets, to negotiating and securing a fair outcome for all of our clients.
Parental Responsibility
From determining the child’s residence, arranging contact with the child, to adding or removing the duty of parental responsibility, our family law solicitors will give you the best legal advice relating to your direct circumstances, with your child or children at the centre of every decision.
Domestic Abuse & Injunctions

From implementing emergency court orders and injunctions to initiating divorce proceedings and managing financial issues, we ensure the trauma of domestic abuse is not prolonged any further by working on your behalf and reaching an effective resolution quickly.
