We are able to advise and assist you resolving family issues following the breakdown of your relationship. Mediation is a voluntary process by which separating couples are helped to resolve their differences themselves. Rather than going to court you and your partner appoint an expert to make a quick decision on any financial and children issues. We understand the emotional challenges and financial worries which you may face going through a divorce. We specialise in financial settlements, often those which involve substantial or complex assets.

Services
Purcell Solicitors are leading family law specialists with physical offices located in Milton Keynes. Offering virtual appointments with remote technology Purcell Solicitors represent clients all over the country and overseas. The firm was established in 2005 by Pauline Purcell who heads a team of highly experienced family lawyers advising on all aspects of family law.
This meant that even if both parties agreed that the marriage was over mutually one would have to accept being "blamed" for either their behaviour or adultery as the reason for the breakdown of the marriage (the two facts that were available to obtain on a divorce immediately). This would sadly often increase tension and acrimony between the parties with no other options available unless they were to wait for a minimum of 2 years.
Some couples need time apart before deciding on a course of action. The law adopts a different approach to couples who are married and couples who are not married. If you are not married resolving your affairs when separating can often be a complex and difficult area of the law. We can advise you on the law of separation, whether you are married or not, as well as provide practical advice on the best way forward. This may include entering into a Deed of Separation setting out the financial and children arrangements.
We specialise in financial settlements, often those which involve substantial or complex assets such as businesses, pensions, international elements. We bring sound judgment and strategy together with formidable negotiation skills to advise our clients on the appropriate strategy for reaching a financial settlement.

I recently completed a very acrimonious divorce. Pauline dealt with my case in an extremely professional manner. She was always there for me giving me excellent advice and helping me through the whole process. I cannot thank her and her team enough for the care and excellent service they provided. An excellent firm if you are going through a divorce, highly recommend.

Throughout my difficult family situation, I not only received a high quality, professional legal service from Gemma but immense support and guidance that often went over and above her professional role. Gemma understood my individual issues and circumstance and worked with me in the best possible way for a solution. I hope I can convey how much reassurance, courage, strength and importantly - professional legal advice on family matters including divorce, financial and child arrangements, that Gemma and the team at Purcell's provided to me at such a difficult, emotional time.

Pauline Purcell and I have known each other as family lawyers for many years, originally working opposite each other on behalf of our clients and latterly in parallel, as I mostly mediate and she continues lawyering. She is knowledgeable and powerful, a dynamic combination and her team are excellent.
