At Hutchinson Thomas, our Family Law team supports individuals through some of life’s most challenging moments—whether that’s the breakdown of a relationship, divorce, or issues involving children.
Hutchinson Thomas / For individuals / Matrimonial & relationships
We advise on a wide range of family law matters, including:
• Divorce and separation
• Financial settlements and clean break orders

• Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements
We have particular expertise in high-value and complex financial cases, including those involving business assets, inherited wealth, and second marriages.
We understand that legal costs can be a concern, especially following cuts to Legal Aid. That’s why we offer a range of fixed-fee divorce packages—giving you control over what you do yourself, what we handle for you, and how much you pay.
