Painters’ Family Department specialises in significant asset and complex divorce cases. The Department aims to achieve a fair solution for its clients amid a rapidly changing legal landscape.

Painters have also established an experienced children law practice for clients involved in private and child care proceedings.

Over the past five years the size of divorce settlements has increased dramatically.

Having established a benchmark of equal capital division for most long marriages with children, the Divorce Court appears to be taking an ever more radical approach.

Recently the Court of Appeal turned down the City financier Mr Alan Miller's appeal that his 36 year old wife's award of £5 million, after a three year marriage, was excessive. In the Parlour and McFarlane cases the Court has given an indication that the next battleground may be a more equal division of income.

In this rapidly changing legal landscape the choice of divorce lawyer is critical:

Our approach is to achieve practical solutions briskly and effectively. We are known for our commercial approach and our specialty is to negotiate the best financial settlement that is reasonably obtainable.

We can offer a whole new way of dealing with the pain of divorce and aftermath. This is known as Collaborative Law and is an alternative to the traditional court based process.

We are also known for our caring and sympathetic attitude and will always do our utmost to deliver positive results for our clients, whilst always considering the interests of the child as paramount.

We aim to be friendly and courteous and resolve all issues amicably, but where appropriate we are forceful and vigorous in protecting the interests of our clients.
