Family Law FAQ's
As all family situations are unique and can be complex, we recommend getting in touch to get a bespoke quote directly from your dedicated family law and separation solicitor. We will draw on our many years of experience to assess your unique personal and financial situation to enable us to provide you with an accurate quote.
We are pleased to be able to offer you a complimentary and confidential 30 minute consultation to discuss your needs.
There are a number of options available for people who do not have income or savings available from which to pay a lawyer.
1 – Credit Cards or Personal Loans
A new credit card account will often have a zero interest period. Most firms of solicitors will accept card payments. If further funds are required over a longer period of time, it might be more economical to take out a personal loan.
2 – Litigation Loan
There are a number of reputable financial institutions who will lend money to help people fund their case. Very often these lenders will make a quick decision and the solicitors can then draw down on the funds, as and when the client approves an invoice. These loans are flexible and transparent. As this is a commercial arrangement, the loan will of course carry interest, paid at the end of the case when the loan is repaid.
3 – Bank of Mum and Dad
In a great number of cases people will turn to their parents, or other family members, for financial support. If a client is lucky enough to have such financial support, the benefit over a commercial loan is often the absence of any interest on funds loaned.
If taking a family loan it is always wise to have this recorded in a signed agreement, ideally at the outset, between the client and the family member providing the financial support.
4 – Legal Services Order
If the financial circumstances of the parties are very different, it may be possible for the spouse without funds to apply to the court for an order that will require their spouse to make a payment in respect of their legal fees.
5 – ‘Sears Tooth’ Agreement
This approach involves the client entering into a binding agreement with the solicitor so that they will be paid from the assets recovered by the client. Due to the risk involved the hourly rate for your solicitor will incur a small supplement.
At Goughs we take the time to get to know you and your situation. You will have peace of mind through having experienced a complimentary consultation with your lawyer before making any commitment to move forward.
We also recommend that you look for a solicitor with excellent online reviews and national accreditations.
The Goughs Family Team have been rated as a Band 1, and are therefore highly recommended, by the prestigious Chambers & Partners. This sits alongside our Legal 500 rating. Legal 500 have ranked us a leading family law solicitors firm for the third year running.
