For You and Your Family
Family law disputes can be bitterly fought and the disruption caused can be long lasting. Our expert family law solicitors in Farnham can help to keep things amicable while ensuring you get the outcome you need.
At BakerLaw, we understand the concern that can come from such matters, particularly concerning the breakdown of a relationship or any child law issues. Our team will take the time to understand your situation and provide tailored advice and support to resolve matters as quickly and amicably as possible.
Whether you are an existing client or you have come to us specifically for advice on a divorce or separation, we strongly believe that we have a responsibility to make the process as smooth and as painless as possible for you, your children and other family members.
Our Farnham family law solicitors can provide expertise on the following matters:
We have considerable expertise in representing clients in complex financial investigations, including pension distribution. In addition, we act for many military personnel in divorce and separation cases. We are familiar with the unique factors regarding specific childcare arrangements that must be taken into account when one party to a marriage is serving overseas.
Where possible, we will approach matters using alternative dispute resolution (ADR), avoiding unnecessary and contentious court proceedings where possible. However, if court litigation is required to resolve the matter, we will be by your side every step of the way, putting together a strong case and representing you.
Our solicitors will address your situation with the utmost sensitivity. We have a complete understanding of the emotional effect family law matters can have on individuals and their loved ones and will provide support throughout.
Once we get to grips with your situation, our specialist solicitors can provide practical advice in clear, plain English, so you are fully aware of the options available and how we can assist you.

At BakerLaw, our lawyers are members of Resolution, an organisation committed to the constructive resolution of family disputes. Where we can, we will encourage solutions that consider the needs of the whole family and in particular, the interests of children.
Sometimes family disputes can be resolved through mediation instead of court litigation, which often costs less and can result in a more amicable settlement of complicated issues.
Mediation will be carried out by a trained neutral mediator who will listen to the matter at hand and attempt to guide you to finding a resolution both parties are satisfied with. Any agreement reached can be made legally binding through applying to a court for a ‘consent order’.
Collaborative law is an alternative method to family mediation, where the involved parties and their individual solicitors have a round table meeting and discuss the desired outcome. If a resolution is reached, each party will sign a non-legally binding agreement that outlines this. The agreement can be made legally binding by applying to a court for a consent order.
Our solicitors will help you to create a strong argument reflecting your desired wishes and provide you with our specialist advice and support throughout the meeting. We have assisted many clients over the years through collaborative law and have a successful track record of obtaining our clients’ desired outcomes.
There are certain situations where it is not suitable to use alternative dispute resolution methods. You may also have attempted to resolve matters between yourself but are unable to come to a solution. Court proceedings might then be the most appropriate option.
Court proceedings can be costly and time-consuming, and you may not get the outcome you anticipated. If you choose to follow this route, it is of paramount importance to secure legal advice for the best chance of success.
Our team will take the time to understand your family law matter and provide a realistic view on whether success is possible, in addition to the expected costs. From this, you can make a fully informed decision over whether this is the right option for you based on our advice.
We recognise the concern you can have regarding legal costs on top of an already stressful situation. We always aim to keep our costs reflective of the service we provide and will never charge more than is necessary to resolve your matter.
In your initial consultation, our solicitors will listen to your situation and the desired outcome. We will then give clear guidance on the presumed costs to resolve the matter.
Where matters are more straightforward, for example, completing a divorce application, we may be able to charge on a fixed fee basis. Doing this provides complete certainty over the costs involved to resolve your family law matter.
Certain family law matters require a more advanced level of legal expertise and ongoing support. Should this apply to your case, we may charge based on an hourly rate. If this is required, we will agree all work in advance, so you have an estimated figure of the likely costs.
