Our family lawyers and divorce specialists in London understand how overwhelming a family breakdown or dispute can be. We take time to understand your situation so we can work toward the outcome that is right for you.

Family Law and Divorce Specialists in London

Our London office is based on High Holborn in the West End, just a few minutes’ walk from Chancery Lane Underground Station. This central location makes it easy for clients across London to meet our family law specialists for in‑person advice.

It is important to understand all your options after a relationship ends or when entering a new one. Early, accurate legal advice from a family lawyer in London can prevent problems later. It often proves far more cost‑effective than waiting until a dispute escalates. At Kabir Family Law in London we offer clear guidance and stay by your side through every stage of your case, helping you secure the best possible outcome.

Initial consultation

We offer a free initial consultation so you can discuss your family case with one of our London family law and divorce experts. Whether you have a few queries for now while you are considering your options or wish to formalise an outcome, our family law specialists are happy to speak with you.

Many clients feel more confident after a single conversation with a family lawyer in London, because they leave with a clear plan and realistic next steps rather than uncertainty.

Can a family lawyer in London help with money and property on divorce?

Yes. Kabir Family Law’s family lawyers in London advise on dividing money, property and pensions when a marriage ends. A divorce order does not settle the finances by itself. The court can make financial orders, and under section 25 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 it must consider all the circumstances, giving first consideration to the welfare of any child of the family under 18.

It then looks at factors such as each person’s income, earning capacity, property and other resources, their needs, and the standard of living the family enjoyed before the marriage broke down. Many couples agree terms and ask the court to approve them as a consent order, which makes the agreement binding. If you cannot agree, you will usually need to attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) before applying to court for a financial order. We can help you gather full financial disclosure and work towards a settlement that lasts.

Family law issues

Our London team advises on the full range of family law issues, from cohabitation advice and separation to divorce and financial settlement. We regularly help parents secure child arrangements orders, resolve disputes over child contact and negotiate shared custody arrangements.

Our child law specialists in London frequently advise on complex cases involving grandparents’ rights and child custody for fathers. We are known nationally for our work in high‑conflict contact disputes, including cases involving parental alienation.

Family lawyers in London with proven experience

As specialist family lawyers in London, our team has years of experience dealing exclusively with family law matters, from straightforward divorces to highly contested child arrangement disputes. Clients instruct us because they want clear, practical advice rather than legal jargon, and a strategy that reflects the realities of London family life.

Our family lawyers in London regularly advise on cases involving complex assets, business interests, international elements and allegations of parental alienation. We understand how local family courts approach these issues and use that insight to prepare your case thoroughly, manage expectations and protect your long‑term position.

Can a family lawyer in London help with an international family law case?

Yes. The courts of England and Wales can often deal with a divorce even when one spouse lives abroad. It is enough, for example, that either of you is domiciled here, or that the applicant has had their home here for at least a year.

A parent usually needs the other parent’s consent, or the court’s permission, to take a child under 16 out of the UK. Without it, taking the child abroad can be a criminal offence. Our international family law page explains how cross-border cases work. If a child has already been taken overseas, see our guide to international child abduction.

Divorce law, London

Our divorce specialists aim to reduce conflict and help you navigate the no‑fault divorce process smoothly. We provide practical options to resolve finances and child arrangements in a prompt, cost‑effective way.

Where children are involved, early advice is essential to safeguard your position on where they live, how often they stay with each parent and how major decisions will be made. Our London divorce law experts are compassionate, realistic and experienced in guiding you through these decisions.

Child law cases in London

Our child law experts are proud to have helped many parents and grandparents secure prompt, regular time with their children. Where necessary, we work closely with Cafcass processes and Section 7 reports to protect your relationship with your child.

Our family lawyers in London have helped parents move from no contact to regular, structured time with their children by combining strong evidence, skilful negotiation and robust guidance in court where needed.

Many clients tell us their biggest fear is being left in the dark about their own case. Our family lawyers in London prioritise clear, regular communication so you always know where you stand, what will happen next and what it will cost.

You will have a named contact responsible for your matter and prompt responses to calls and emails, with realistic updates rather than vague reassurance. We explain your options in plain English, outline risks as well as strengths, and help you weigh up settlement against the emotional and financial cost of “fighting on”.
