Clear advice and a practical plan for your family, whatever you’re facing.
We represent you with a proactive and forward-thinking mindset.
Family problems rarely arrive one at a time. You might be worried about seeing your children, frightened of a partner’s behaviour, cut off from your grandchildren or about to marry and wanting to protect what you’ve built. Each brings its own worries and its own legal steps.
The right next step depends on your situation. Some problems need a court application, some a carefully drafted agreement and some urgent protection the same day. Knowing which comes first makes everything else easier.
Osbourne Pinner’s family law solicitors in Wimbledon are here to help. We tell you where you stand, help you agree what you can and go to court if needed. If you’re ending a marriage, our divorce solicitors in Wimbledon can help.

Not every family law matter starts with a dispute. Lots of couples come to us to plan ahead. Then if the relationship ever ends, there’s already a clear record of what was agreed.
A prenuptial agreement is signed before a wedding or civil partnership, and a postnuptial agreement after it. Neither is automatically binding in England and Wales. But since the Supreme Court’s decision in Radmacher v Granatino, courts will usually uphold an agreement that you both entered freely, with full information and a proper understanding of its effect, as long as it’s fair.
Unmarried couples have far fewer rights than many people think. There’s no such thing as common law marriage, so living together for years doesn’t give you a share of your partner’s property or a right to maintenance. A cohabitation agreement can protect you both.
The government consulted in 2026 on making some nuptial agreements binding and giving cohabiting couples new rights, but the law hasn’t changed yet. Our prenuptial agreement solicitors can explain where you stand today.
If you need to apply to court about your children, the court fee for a child arrangements, specific issue or prohibited steps order is currently £270. Applications for protection from domestic abuse have no court fee, including non-molestation and occupation orders. Enforcing an existing child arrangements order also costs £270. If you’re on a low income, you might be able to get help with court fees.
Before most applications about children, you must attend a mediation information and assessment meeting (MIAM). That is unless an exemption applies like domestic abuse. Through the government’s Family Mediation Voucher Scheme, eligible families can currently get up to £500 towards the cost of mediation about their children.
Our legal fees are agreed before we start. For agreements such as prenups, we give you a clear estimate at the outset, and for court applications we estimate each stage. If anything changes, we’ll talk it through with you first.
Costs rise when the other side disputes everything or the court needs Cafcass or expert reports. Mediation or negotiation is usually the quickest and cheapest route. Our child maintenance calculator gives you a quick estimate. A free video consultation is the best way to get a realistic figure for your situation.

No obligation. We do not offer Legal Aid.
In your free consultation, we can:
When parents separate, the biggest question is usually how the children will share their time between two homes. Most parents agree this themselves, sometimes with a mediator’s help, and we can put it in writing.
If you can’t agree, the court can make a child arrangements order setting out where the children live and when they see each parent. It can also decide a specific issue, such as schooling, or make a prohibited steps order, for example to stop a move abroad. Your children’s welfare always comes first.
Grandparents and other relatives can apply too, usually with the court’s permission. Our child arrangement order solicitors can guide you, and our guide to child arrangement orders explains what the court looks at.

Your safety comes first. We can apply urgently for a non-molestation order, which makes threatening or harassing you a criminal offence, or an occupation order deciding who lives in the home. There’s no court fee. If you’re in immediate danger, call 999.
Taking children abroad without the other parent’s consent or a court order is usually a criminal offence. If you think it might happen, we can apply urgently for a prohibited steps order. If your child has already been taken, speak to us straight away.
If agreed or ordered time with your children isn’t happening, the court can enforce the order. It can change the arrangements, require the other parent to attend a parenting programme or, in some cases, order unpaid work. We can advise on the best way to get things back on track.
Grandparents don’t have an automatic right to see their grandchildren, but they can ask the court’s permission to apply for contact. Mediation often helps families find a way forward first, without the stress of court. Read more about our work on grandparents’ rights.

We do not offer Legal Aid.
Usually, yes. Before most applications about children, you must attend a mediation information and assessment meeting (MIAM). There are exemptions, including where there is evidence of domestic abuse or the application is urgent.
The court fee is £270. Your legal costs depend on whether the other parent agrees and how far the case goes. We give you a clear estimate before we start.
Yes, but most grandparents need the court’s permission before they can apply for a child arrangements order. The court looks at your connection with the child and whether the application could disrupt their life.
If you’re at risk, the court can make an order the same day, without the other person being told first. There is no court fee. A further hearing then follows, giving the other person a chance to respond.
Not automatically. But a court will usually give effect to a prenup you both signed freely, with full financial disclosure and a proper understanding of what it means, as long as it’s fair. Getting it drafted properly makes all the difference.
Fewer than you might think. There’s no such thing as common law marriage, so you don’t automatically share property or have a right to maintenance. You may still have a claim to a home you contributed to, and financial claims can be made for children.
