Cohabitation
Couples who live together without marrying have different rights from married couples. We advise on cohabitation agreements and on the claims that may be available when a cohabiting relationship ends.
Family Law
Sensitive advice when family life changes.
Straightforward, discreet guidance on cohabitation, separation, divorce and arrangements for children, with mediation available as an alternative to court.
Overview
Calm, practical support through difficult times.
When a relationship ends or family arrangements need to change, it helps to understand your rights and options early. We explain where you stand and help you reach arrangements that work, by agreement wherever possible.
Our family law work is led by Director Lisa McLaughlan, with Senior Associate Solicitor Drew Yeoman.
CALM Mediator accredited by the Law Society of Scotland.
