Family & Divorce Solicitor in Mapperley
For Mapperley residents, Paulette offers thoughtful guidance through divorce, financial remedy and separation agreements. She understands that every family is different and tailors her advice accordingly.
She also helps Mapperley parents agree arrangements for their children, and supports people with cohabitation disputes where an unmarried couple owns property together. Her aim is to give you a clear picture of where you stand from the very first conversation.
You can speak with Paulette by phone, video or in person by arrangement. Many clients prefer a quick call to explain the situation, followed by a more detailed video meeting.
She aims for early, fair settlement wherever possible, helping Mapperley clients save time, cost and stress.
Some Mapperley clients have lived in the same home for many years, and decisions about whether to sell or for one person to stay are among the hardest to make. Paulette helps you weigh up the practical and financial options, including whether one of you could realistically buy the other out.
She also makes sure pensions, savings and any debts are taken into account, so that the overall settlement is fair and workable.
If you want to start with an informal conversation before committing to anything, a short phone call is a good place to begin.

Questions from people in Mapperley
We were not married. Do I have any claim to the house?
Possibly. Unmarried couples' property disputes are decided under trust law, and contributions and shared intentions can matter.
How long does a financial settlement take?
An agreed settlement can often be finalised within a few months. Contested cases take longer.
Do we have to go to mediation?
Before most court applications you must attend an information meeting about mediation, unless an exemption applies.
