Divorce, Civil Partnership Dissolution and Separation
Professional Divorce Solicitors in Hastings, Brighton and Tunbridge Wells
When a relationship comes to an end, the process of separating can be stressful and emotional. Dividing assets, potentially moving home, and deciding on shared childcare arrangements is difficult at best, and can put a considerable amount of strain on your health.
Elaine Parkes Solicitors provide professional divorce and separation representation for clients across East Sussex and Kent, from our offices in key locations in Brighton, Hastings and Tunbridge Wells
Our aim is to help you work through the separation process in as streamlined a way as possible, with expert advice on your rights and obligations to help you make sound, informed decisions about the right outcomes for your family.
While divorce itself can be a challenging experience, your financial matters should always be resolved with a calm oversight of the future, and so protecting your best interests is vital, whatever issues you are negotiating.
Drawing on our years of experience in the field, our solicitors are on your side to ensure proceedings are completed as amicably and quickly as possible.
