Services
When life, family, and wealth are closely intertwined, you need more than a stan Paradigm Family Law provides comprehensive family law services, led by senior professionals who offer clear, strategic advice. We focus on delivering fixed-fee transparency and achieving effective outcomes in divorce, financial settlements, and child arrangements. Our expert approach ensures that clients are supported every step of the way, both in the UK and internationally.
Separation & Divorce When a relationship breaks down, early legal insight is essential to achieving a fair resolution. We explain available options at the start, so expectations are grounded in realistic outcomes. With most cases resolving without a final hearing, understanding judicial thinking is invaluable. Our expertise in dispute resolution provides direction, reduces uncertainty, and supports efficient settlement.
Civil Partnership Breakdown When a civil partnership comes to an end, it is often an emotionally challenging period with many important matters to address. We provide specialist legal advice to help you make informed decisions about finances, children and future arrangements. Early guidance can reduce uncertainty and support a smoother transition. Our approach focuses on clarity, sensitivity and protecting your long-term interests.
Financial Settlements Establishing financial arrangements following the end of a relationship requires a clear legal process. We guide clients through financial remedy proceedings, which are separate from divorce itself. These proceedings can consider all financial circumstances now and in the future. We focus on helping you reach a fair and practical settlement.
Child Arrangements We work with parents to establish arrangements that safeguard children during and after relationship breakdown. By addressing key decisions early, we help minimise uncertainty and conflict. Our advice covers both everyday matters and significant choices affecting a childs future. The aim is always to support cooperative parenting and sustainable outcomes.

I will not hesitate to recommend Paradigm Family Law. Highly professional, knowledgeable and genuine. James Thornton and his network of experts are invaluable, paying attention to the tiniest of detail. At first glance they may seem expensive compared to other solicitors but the fixed fee option is actually a massive financial advantage. There's no worrying about how many emails or phone calls pass between you, as you know there will be no extra cost incurred. Paradigm definitely go more than that extra mile to try achieve the best results possible.

Absolutely tremendous service. Handled a rather convoluted international law case on my behalf. Very knowledgeable, professional and importantly human. Thank you Frank for all your help.
