    Change of name

    If you decide to change your name, QualitySolicitors can help you to do this legally and properly.

    People change their name for a variety of reasons. What the law thinks of this is simple, a name change is acceptable unless it seeks to defraud or has some criminal benefit. Simply asking others to call you by your new name could work. A deed poll or statutory declaration is more sensible as other parties and authorities accept more readily a legal document than just your word.

    QualitySolicitors can help you change your name simply and easily. A change of name deed is drawn up by one of our expert lawyers and the proper procedure carried out to ensure its legal status. If there are any associated matters to the change of name deed, we can discuss this at the time. You may wish to change the surnames of your children if they are of a certain age. This requires certain consents but we explain this simply, using plain English.

    To begin the process of changing your name legally, call us today on 01446 411 000.

    Expert legal advice you can rely on:


    Family law

    In today’s modern world there is no such thing as an ‘average’ family or ‘normal’ relationship. You may be married, living together, or separated. Children, step-children or adopted children are perhaps living with you or living elsewhere. Grandparents or other family members could also be involved. Whatever your situation, relationships can sometimes break down and that’s when turning to a family solicitor can really help you to resolve difficulties quickly.

    Adoption

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

    Arrangements for children

    When a relationship breaks down and children are involved, your main concern will be to protect their wellbeing. So it’s good to know that at QualitySolicitors we make your children our number one priority too.

    Divorce

    If you are at the stage of thinking about divorce or dissolution of civil partnership and wanting some initial advice or looking to progress the decision more formally, QualitySolicitors J A Hughes is here to help.

    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.

    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 regard to finance and property and if children are involved, it’s important to protect their future too.
