Christmas is a time for festivities and enjoying those precious moments with the people we love.
At this time of year, many couples who are experiencing relationship difficulties will often decide to carry on and postpone tackling the big decisions concerning the future of their relationship until the New Year.
The thought of dealing with those issues when others around them are playing happy families can often put people off from seeking essential legal advice.
The fear of being alone over Christmas can be a contributory factor, particularly if one has been in a relationship for a number of years.
Couples who have children are also usually concerned that time with their children may also be disrupted if they discuss their feelings with their spouse or partner.
All the above is totally understandable however, often there is a fear of the unknown which can be left hanging over a person during the festive period. As a specialist family solicitor, my experience is that once individuals have had an initial consultation and taken legal advice, they feel a lot better especially as we can often provide various options in which to handle their matter and some reassurance that there is a way forward.
Each family situation is different and having the help of someone who is an expert in family law matters, can assist tremendously to allay any fears that one may have. A specialist in family law can often provide guidance and options to you which an individual going through a separation may not have thought were possible. They can also dispel any myths or misinformation a person may have been told by their partner or a third party.
Planning ahead can also provide an opportunity to begin to gather information which may be needed to progress matters. For example, if you are planning a divorce and you have a pension, obtaining a pension valuation can take time, especially before and just after Christmas.
Many family solicitors will agree that there is often an influx of new enquiries for family law advice after the New Year. Having an initial consultation booked before the New Year can give you peace of mind that you aren’t going to have to wait a long time to speak to a solicitor.
At Consilia Legal, we offer a free initial 30-minute consultation with an experienced family solicitor. We can speak to individuals on the telephone, by video call or in person at our friendly and central offices.
By arranging an appointment before the New Year and getting some personalised legal advice, it may help in easing any concerns you have and help you enjoy the well deserved break over Christmas.
If you would like to take advantage of having a free 30-minute consultation with a member of our team please do not hesitate to contact us on: enquiries@consilialegal.co.uk or telephone 0113 322 9222.
