Divorce and separation
When any relationship breaks down it can be difficult, especially if the stresses of your profession have caused tension within your marriage. It can be a complex process and you might not know where to start, but our team are here to provide clarity and understanding.
Our goal is to resolve matters as quickly as possible, and by taking the problem off your hands we enable you to focus on the other important areas in your life.
We can also help you to resolve financial matters. We have expert knowledge and experience in dealing with NHS pensions and understand that you are likely to be anxious about what will happen to your pension on divorce.
There are numerous ways in which courts can deal with NHS pensions, including:
- Pension sharing: This is the most common option. This is where pension funds are transferred or split between the two of you, creating two separate pension schemes.
- Offsetting: This is where your former spouse does not receive a share of your pension but instead receives a larger proportion of the other available capital.
- Deferred lump sum: This is an order requiring you to pay a proportion of the lump sum that you receive upon retirement to your spouse.
- You each retain your own pensions. This is dependent upon the values of your pensions and the other assets in the marriage.
We can guide you through this process and ensure that your pension is protected as much as possible when dividing the assets between you and your spouse.

Child arrangements
Unfortunately, when couples separate, they often find it challenging to agree on how their children should be cared for moving forward.
We always try and encourage parents to reach an agreement on matters regarding their children where possible, as an agreement made solely by the two parties usually stands a greater chance of working in the longer term.
However, if you and your former partner are unable to reach an agreement on matters concerning your children then our family solicitors are here to assist with negotiations.
Where negotiations are not successful, it may be necessary to resolve matters through the courts. If this is the case, our solicitors will be able to formulate an effective strategy to achieve the best possible outcome for your family, taking into account the nature of your work and how this may impact upon any arrangements that are put in place.

Delivering excellent results
Calm, professional and communicative
Ammarah Balouch’s guidance and preparation made the first hearing much more manageable. From the start, she was well-prepared and communicated clearly, explaining each stage, so I knew what to expect. Because the case involved my daughter, it was emotionally challenging for me. However, Ammarah remained calm and professional throughout. She ensured the key points were clearly articulated and kept the discussion focused on my daughter’s best interests. Her practical advice, steady support, and responsive communication reduced my stress and boosted my confidence. Following the hearing, we achieved a significant milestone in establishing contact with my daughter, which had previously been made difficult by my ex-wife. This outcome highlighted the effectiveness of Ammarah’s approach and preparation, and I would confidently recommend her to anyone needing support in a family matter.

Kind and supportive throughout
Following my initial consultation with Fullers Family Law I chose Fullers to manage my Divorce proceedings and my Financial Matters / Financial Remedy. In all aspects of my case Fullers Family Law have been excellent. I must however specifically mention Asia who has handled my financial matters and been a tower of strength through a most difficult time. I have found Asia to be calm, confident, highly knowledgeable, efficient and honest with a kind and reassuring manner even when I doubted a fair and reasonable settlement was possible. Throughout the process which, through absolutely no fault on Asia`s part, resulted in the case going before the Courts. Asia was professional, supportive, caring and provided clear, realistic advice and guidance. I am absolutely certain that without Asia I would not have been able to secure what I consider to be a very fair and reasonable settlement. I can genuinely recommend Fullers Family Law and specifically Asia Razaq-Miah.

Outstanding attention to detail
I had the pleasure of working with Reena Bhanderi for my divorce case, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the beginning, Reena was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate, guiding me through what was a very challenging time. She took the time to explain every step of the process in clear terms, always ensuring that I felt informed and supported. Her attention to detail and dedication to achieving the best outcome for me was outstanding. Reena was always responsive, and her calm and reassuring approach made a difficult situation much easier to manage. I am extremely grateful for her expertise and would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a solicitor. Thank you, Reena, for your excellent work!
