Family law matters are among the most personal and emotionally demanding situations you'll ever face. Whether you're going through a divorce, navigating arrangements for your children, or protecting your financial future after a separation - you deserve legal support that is clear, compassionate, and firmly in your corner.
At ISSAT TIMM Solicitors, we work with clients across England and Wales, providing expert family law advice with the care and sensitivity these situations demand. Our team of experienced solicitors and legal professionals are here to guide you through every step - so you never have to face it alone.
Our Family Law Services: We provide expert legal support across the full range of family law matters in England and Wales.
Divorce & Separation
Going through a divorce is rarely simple - emotionally or legally. We guide you through the entire divorce process under England and Wales law, from the initial application through to your Final Order, helping you understand each stage and what to expect.
We can help you with:
No-fault divorce applications (introduced April 2022)
Contested and uncontested divorce proceedings
Judicial separation
Separation agreements
Annulment of marriage
Did you know? Under current UK law, the minimum timeframe for a divorce is 26 weeks. Most divorces take 7–12 months. We'll keep your process moving as efficiently as possible
Family Law That Puts You First
law touches every part of your life. It affects where you live, how you raise your children, your financial security, and your future. That's why we don't treat family law cases as just legal problems to be solved - we treat them as human situations that deserve thoughtful, personalised support. Based in London's Chancery Lane and serving clients throughout the UK, ISSAT TIMM Solicitors brings together solicitors, mediators, and barristers under one roof. We offer practical legal guidance backed by genuine empathy - helping you make informed decisions at a time when clarity can feel hard to come by. Whether your situation is straightforward or deeply complex, we're ready to help.
Child Arrangements
Your children's wellbeing is the priority - for you, and for the court. When parents separate, deciding where children live and how much time they spend with each parent can become a source of real conflict. We help families reach arrangements that work for everyone, with the child's best interests at the centre.
We can help you with:
Child Arrangements Orders (residence and contact)
Prohibited Steps Orders
Specific Issue Orders
Applications to take a child abroad
Parental responsibility disputes
Urgent child protection matters
We will always explore amicable resolutions first - through mediation or negotiation - before pursuing court proceedings.
Domestic Abuse & Injunctions
If you are experiencing domestic abuse or feel unsafe at home, we can act quickly to help protect you and your children.
We can help you with:
Non-molestation orders
Occupation orders (requiring an abusive partner to leave the family home)
Domestic abuse injunctions
Emergency legal applications
Advice on legal aid eligibility for domestic abuse matters
We handle these cases with the utmost sensitivity and urgency. Your safety is our priority.
Financial Settlements & Consent Orders
Reaching a fair financial settlement after separation is one of the most important - and often most contentious - parts of any family breakdown. Without a formal agreement approved by the court, your ex-partner may be able to make financial claims against you years later, even after remarriage.
We can help you with:
Financial remedy orders
Consent orders (formalising agreed settlements)
Division of property and the family home
Pension sharing and pension attachment orders
Spousal maintenance
Division of assets including savings, investments, and business interests
High-net-worth financial settlements
We'll work to protect your financial interests - whether through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings.
Cohabitation & Unmarried Couples
Many people are surprised to learn that there is no such thing as a "common-law spouse" in UK law. Unmarried couples - regardless of how long they've been together - have very different legal rights to married couples when they separate.
We can help you with:
Cohabitation agreements
Declarations of trust (protecting your share of a jointly owned property)
Property disputes between unmarried couples
Financial claims under Schedule 1 of the Children Act 1989
Advice on protecting your rights before or during cohabitation
If you're moving in together, buying a property jointly, or separating after years of living together - we can help you understand and protect your legal position.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does family law advice cost?
Costs vary depending on the complexity of your matter and the services required. We offer transparent pricing, fixed fees where possible, and a clear breakdown of costs before we begin. Contact us to discuss your situation.
Do I have to go to court?
Not necessarily. Many family law matters - including divorce, financial settlements, and child arrangements - can be resolved through negotiation or mediation, without the need for court proceedings. We will always explore the most cost-effective and least adversarial route first.
How long will my case take?
This depends on the nature and complexity of your matter. An uncontested divorce takes a minimum of 26 weeks. Child arrangements and financial settlements vary widely. We'll give you a realistic timeline from the outset.
Can I get advice even if I'm not based in London?
Absolutely. We advise clients throughout England and Wales. Consultations are available by telephone and video call, so geography is no barrier to getting expert legal support.
What should I bring to my first consultation?
Relevant documents (such as marriage certificates, court orders, correspondence, or financial information) can be helpful - but don't worry if you don't have everything ready. We'll guide you on what we need as we go.
Book Your Consultation Today !!! Taking the first step is often the hardest part. But you don't have to face this alone. Whether you're at the very beginning of a separation, in the middle of a dispute, or simply need to understand your legal rights - our family law team is ready to listen and to help.
Contact ISSAT TIMM Solicitors today to book your confidential consultation.
Mediation & Alternative Dispute Resolution
Court proceedings can be expensive, time-consuming, and emotionally draining. Wherever possible, we encourage and support alternative approaches to resolving family disputes.
We can help you with:
Family mediation (we have an experienced mediator on our team)
Collaborative law
Solicitor-led negotiation
Drafting mediation agreements into legally binding documents
Resolving matters outside of court - where possible - is nearly always better for everyone, particularly where children are involved.
