Adoption

If you decide to adopt a child, either in the UK or from overseas, having expert legal advice is key. Hopleys GMA Solicitors can support you in this highly complex legal area.

The decision to adopt a child starts an involved legal process. There can be many people or bodies involved before the process is complete. Not just you as the prospective adopter, the children’s guardians or birth parents, local authorities, and, of course, the child. Where the child is being adopted from can add complications, and after the adoption, consider matters such as contact with birth relatives. If you object to an adoption, you need to know what to do too.

Hopleys GMA  incorporating Keene and Kelly has expert family lawyers who can advise you on the adoption process from all sides. Regardless of where you plan to adopt from, options are explained before any action is taken. We clearly outline timescales, costs and what you should be thinking about at every stage of the adoption process. If you are having a child taken away, we can act for you too. We explain things in plain simple English and make sure you are kept informed throughout. We attend case conferences, at court or negotiate with social workers.

Adoption is a challenging time. To get the best advice, contact us today on 01978 880 276.

Family law

There is no such thing as an ‘average’ family, which means there is no such thing as a standard legal service for families. Whether you’re living together, you’re going through a separation, you’re already divorced, there are children involved or extended relatives, speaking to a family solicitor can help everyone see a clear path forward.

Arrangements for children

When a relationship breaks down and children are involved, your main concern will be to protect their well-being. So it’s good to know that at Hopleys GMA incorporating Keene and Kelly we make your children our number one priority too.

Change of name

If you decide to change your name, Hopleys GMA incorporating Keene and Kelly can help you to do this legally and properly.

Divorce

Domestic violence

If you’re in a relationship that isn't working for you, either because you feel threatened or are with a violent or abusive partner, it can be difficult to know where to turn to for help - but it’s important not to suffer in silence. Asking for help is the first step to resolving the situation.

Financial arrangements

Deciding to end a relationship is never an easy decision. And whether you’re going through a separation or a divorce, it can be a stressful time. One of the more difficult aspects of any split is agreeing how to deal with financial matters.

Living together

More and more couples are choosing to live together and share their lives without getting married. And whilst emotionally, you may feel no different to a married couple; under the law, couples that live together without getting married do not share the same legal rights as those who marry. This can make things difficult if the relationship breaks down in the future particularly in regards to finance and property. And if children are involved, it’s important to protect their future too.

Prenuptial agreements

Planning a wedding is an exciting time - and also a time when you start thinking about your long-term future. You’re probably looking forward to a long and happy marriage but it’s also natural to wonder what unexpected twists and turns life might bring.

Separation

Making the decision to end a relationship and separate is rarely easy and sometimes you may need professional legal help to ensure the separation process is handled fairly. Whether you’re facing a marriage separation or are ending a relationship after living together, it’s likely that you’ll have lots of questions and concerns. You’ll want to know what will happen regarding your home, possessions and finances. And if children are involved, you’ll want to ensure that their wellbeing is the main priority.
