Family law advisors in Belfast

A relationship breakdown is always a difficult and distressing experience. Let one of our family lawyers at Holmes & Moffitt learn about your situation and advise you on your options. We offer expert advice to couples going through divorce and separation. Whether you are married, living with your partner, or you're in a civil partnership, we can help you.

We aim to minimise conflicts between you and your spouse/partner, but if necessary, we can help you take strong and effective legal action. We can help secure your safety by applying to the Court for Non-molestation Orders, Occupation Orders and Injunctions, and also advise you on financial affairs, including offshore trusts and pension provision.  

Many of our cases have a multi-jurisdictional aspect, and we have specialist knowledge of cases involving the removal of children from the jurisdiction. We have many years of experience dealing with childcare cases, including domestic and contact disputes. 

Cohabitation agreements: If you are in a cohabitation relationship, we can help you to create a cohabitation agreement that will safeguard your property and finances and also your children's future in case of a relationship breakdown.

Pre and post-nuptial agreements: If you have substantial assets and business that you want to secure before or after getting married, then contact us for a pre or post-nuptial agreement. It sets out how a couple's assets should be split in the event that the marriage breaks down.
