The family law services we offer

We advise on all the main areas of family law. Each area has its own detailed page.

Divorce and separation

End your marriage without blame under the current no-fault divorce law, with as little stress as possible. We also help unmarried couples and with legal separation.

Child arrangements and custody

Agree where your children live and how they see each parent - always in their best interests. We represent you in court if an order is needed.

Financial settlements

Fairly divide property, savings and pensions, and make it legally binding with a consent order. We also handle spousal maintenance.

Domestic abuse - protection orders

Urgent court protection, including non-molestation and occupation orders. Legal aid is often available - we check your eligibility straight away.

What does a family law solicitor do?

A family law solicitor advises and represents you on legal matters within families and relationships. This includes divorce and separation, arrangements for children, dividing finances and property, and protection from domestic abuse. A good family solicitor explains the law in plain terms, helps you reach a fair outcome – ideally without unnecessary conflict – and represents you in court if that becomes necessary.

At MKK Solicitors, we take a practical, supportive approach. We aim to resolve matters constructively where we can, and we prepare thoroughly when a case does need to go to court.

Can I get legal aid for a family law case?

Legal aid for family law in England and Wales is limited, but it is available for certain cases. You may be eligible if:

Legal aid is means-tested (based on your income, savings and circumstances) and merits-tested (based on the strength of your case). Many family matters, such as a straightforward divorce or a purely financial dispute, are not usually covered.
As one of the firms in the area that still offers legal aid, we will honestly assess whether you qualify – and if you don’t, we will explain clear, affordable options including fixed fees.

How the process usually works

Every case is different, but most family matters follow a similar path:

Free initial consultation

you tell us what's happening; we explain your options and likely costs.

Advice and strategy

we agree the best way forward for you and your family.

Negotiation or mediation

many issues can be resolved without court, which is usually faster and less stressful.

Court, if needed

if agreement isn't possible, we prepare your case and represent you.

Making it binding

for example, turning a financial agreement into a court-approved consent order.

Areas we serve

Based in Hounslow, we work closely with clients across the West London boroughs — including Richmond, Twickenham, Brentford, Ealing, Chiswick, Southall and Feltham — as well as Central London and the rest of the capital. We also act for clients nationwide, throughout England and Wales. With much of family law now handled online and by video, distance is no barrier: appointments are available in person, by phone or by video — whichever suits you best

A team you can talk to in your language.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a divorce take in the UK?

Do I have to go to court to get divorced?

Who decides where the children live?

There is no automatic rule favouring the mother or father. Parents are encouraged to agree arrangements themselves; if they can't, a court decides based on one priority - the welfare of the child.

Will I have to sell the family home?

Not necessarily. It depends on your overall finances, your children's needs, and what's fair in your case. There are often several possible outcomes, and we'll explain the ones that apply to you.

How much does a family law case cost?

It depends on the type of case and its complexity. There may be a court fee plus legal fees. We're upfront about costs, offer fixed fees where possible, and check whether you qualify for legal aid.

Do you have solicitors who speak Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi or Bengali?

Yes - we can advise you in English, Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi and Bengali, in person or over the phone.
