Areas of Practice

We advise on all aspects of family law. Our wide-ranging areas of practice include the following:

  • Separation: We act in both judicial and non-judicial cases for separation agreements. The professional team at Melvyn Hanley Solicitors approaches sensitive cases with the utmost confidentiality and support.
  • Divorce: As well as separation, our team also acts in both contested and consenting divorce agreements.
  • Mediation: Melvyn Hanley Solicitors facilitate mediation for clients through advice, representation and drafting of agreements on foot of mediation. Our priority with respect to representing clients is to keeping their immediate needs, as well as their long-term needs, in mind.
  • Pension Adjustment Orders: A pension adjustment order is a binding order served by the court to trustees or the provider of a pension agreement, of which spouses/civil partners/qualified cohabitants require a portion of the pension to be paid to another qualified person. We ensure that our client’s interests are safeguarded and that the appropriate pensions advice has been taken at the time of separation and/or divorce proceedings. It is extremely important to note that pension adjustment orders can only be made by the courts at the time of separation and/or divorce.
  • Passport Applications in respect of Minors: Our experienced team advises and represents clients during difficulties that have arisen out of an application for a minor’s passport.
