How our divorce solicitor team can work for you

Our divorce solicitor team are made up of some of the most highly regarded professionals in the Northwest. Our divorce solicitors have extensive experience in dealing with complex high profile cases, often involving substantial assets.


Whether you require a divorce solicitor or advice on cohabitation, the size and experience of our team enables us to respond quickly to your needs. Some members of our divorce solicitor team are Accredited Family Law Specialists and many are actively involved in regional and national committees of Resolution. Several of our staff are members of the Law Society's Family Law Panel.


Our divorce solicitor team recognises the importance of combining efficiency and value for money with a sympathetic approach to all difficult personal problems. Each divorce solicitor's aim is to achieve solutions by agreement wherever possible and to provide a service which is tailored to the precise needs of each individual client.

Our main areas of expertise are:

  • Divorce and separation

  • Financial implications of marriage breakdown

  • Dispute resolution in relation to children

  • Separation agreements

If you need a divorce solicitor

We recognise that the breakdown of a marriage or civil partnership is a huge event for any individual to come to terms with, the impact of which is not limited to domestic and financial arrangements. This is the time when you may need a divorce solicitor.

Whether you are considering a divorce/dissolution or separation and want to find out what is involved, or you have received notice of proceedings from your partner and want to know what happens next, our divorce solicitor team can provide advice and support to guide you through the process with minimum distress.

At Mace & Jones, our divorce solicitor team encourages its clients to maintain a constructive dialogue in the interests of preserving a civil on-going relationship. This is because our divorce solicitor team recognises that this is crucial in cases where children are involved. In our experience this approach is more cost effective than litigation, although when necessary our divorce solicitor team will be able to advise you on pursuing a court based settlement.

Marriage and Civil Partnership breakdown

Mace & Jones' divorce solicitor team specialises in advising on relationship breakdown and its consequences, if couples are married.

Our aim is to provide pragmatic cost-effective advice tailored to individual circumstances, when a divorce solicitor is needed.

Our divorce solicitor team's extensive experience allows us to ensure a sensitive and constructive handling of divorce situations, relating to residence and contact arrangements for children and issues relating to parental responsibility.

Our divorce solicitor team acts with speed and efficiency in seeking injunctions to protect clients at risk from domestic violence.We recognise the importance of preserving on-going relationships between former partners, especially in cases involving children.

Our divorce solicitor team can offer our negotiating expertise and where appropriate collaborative law as alternatives to the immediate commencement of court proceedings.

Our knowledge of advising on relationship breakdown means we can offer clear guidance and expertise in relation to prenuptial and pre-civil partnership agreements as well as cohabitation agreements.
