Family & Divorce Solicitor in Clifton

Paulette helps families in Clifton and Wilford understand their legal position when relationships end. She explains each stage in plain English so there are no surprises.

Whether you need advice about children, the family home or protecting yourself from abuse, she is approachable and easy to talk to. Clifton clients also come to her for help with divorce applications, financial settlements and separation agreements.

Appointments are flexible: speak with Paulette by phone, meet over video from your own home, or arrange to meet in person. Video calls mean you can talk things through without arranging childcare or travel.

She will always be honest with you about what is achievable, and will work with you towards an outcome that allows you and your family to move forward.

Clifton parents often ask how they can keep things stable for their children while the adults' relationship changes. Paulette encourages realistic, child-focused arrangements and can help you put them in writing, so that both parents know what has been agreed.

If the other parent is not willing to discuss arrangements, she can explain mediation and, if needed, the court process for a child arrangements order.

Where money is tight, she will talk openly about costs and about steps you can take yourself to keep fees down.
