Divorce & Separation - making this difficult time easier. 

Sadly, statistics show that one in three marriages end in divorce.  We recognise that this is a difficult time for the people involved and the prospect of instructing solicitors to deal with the legalities of the divorce and the division of assets is no doubt daunting.

At Bates Solicitors, we are here to bear some of the burden for you by assisting with the legalities.  We can offer you as little or as much assistance as you require throughout your divorce or separation. Whether you simply require guidance on the Divorce process , advice on your financial entitlement, or wish for us to act for you completely in dissolving your marriage and acheiving a financal settlement , then we are here to help.

We will endeavour to avoid long drawn out disputes, whilst looking out for your best interests and ensuring that you receive everything that you are entitled to.  At the same time, we will ensure  that you are kept fully informed throughout the entire process.

We also offer advice in respect of Civil Partnerships,  whether the formation or dissolution of a Civil Partership.
