Reach a fair & reasonable resolution
Resolve issues concerning property, money and children
We understand that changes in your family's circumstances can be extremely upsetting and difficult to deal with. But you're not on your own. Our friendly family solicitors strive to help you keep things together when you may feel like they are falling apart.
With the right legal support, outcomes can be not only fair but genuinely constructive, especially when children are involved. From amicable agreements to contentious disputes, we tailor our approach to your specific circumstances with one clear goal: achieving the best possible result for you and your loved ones.
How can we help?
Our team is experienced in issues arising from the breakdown of a marriage, or separation of a couple, dissolution of civil partnership and adoption of children. Whatever the situation, we can help you achieve what is fair and reasonable. Worried about payment? We offer a range of fixed-fee services and flexible payment options to suit your circumstances.
The best for your family
Experienced, expert and tailored advice
Family matters are deeply personal, yet they unfold within a complex and often intimidating legal system. In addition to guiding you through the legal process, we will help you to understand your options and make the right decisions. At every step of the way, we will use our understanding of the local courts and judiciary to inform our service. In practice, this means providing practical advice when dealing with schools and local authorities, and utilising our understanding of the local economy in support of your case.
Our team includes members of Resolution, meaning that we adhere to their code of practice that encourages efficiency and agreement. Contact us for calm, measured guidance to help you make informed choices that protect your future and support those you care about most.

Trusted local guidance
Why local experience matters
When family circumstances change, having trusted support nearby can make an incredibly difficult situation feel more manageable. At Brockbanks Solicitors, we have supported individuals and families across Cumbria for generations, offering practical legal advice with a personal approach.
Working with local family law solicitors means receiving guidance from professionals who understand both the legal process and the communities you live in. Familiarity with local courts and regional services, as well as face-to-face support, can help reduce stress and provide reassurance to families during uncertain times.
For many families, family mediation services can offer a calmer, more cooperative way to resolve disagreements. Mediation creates a structured setting where both parties can discuss arrangements openly and work together toward practical solutions. This approach is often particularly beneficial where children are involved, as it encourages communication and helps reduce unnecessary conflict.
Some clients going through separation also choose to review other important legal matters at the same time. Speaking with a will writer can help ensure future wishes surrounding property, finances, and loved ones are properly documented following major life changes.
