Services
Specialising in family law, Paradigm Family Law offers expert guidance from senior professionals. We ensure that each case is handled with bespoke strategies, clear fixed-fee structures, and a focus on resolution. Whether dealing with divorce, financial complexities, or child-related matters, our services are designed to meet the specific needs of each client. 
Separation and divorce require more than procedural knowledge; they demand strategic foresight. We help clients understand their options at the outset, avoiding uncertainty later. Early evaluation of likely results strengthens negotiations and reduces unnecessary hostility. Our structured approach promotes fairness, efficiency, and confidence throughout the process. 
Ending a civil partnership can raise complex questions at an already emotional moment. We assist clients by providing tailored legal advice on dissolution, financial division and arrangements for children. With a clear understanding of the process and your legal position, you can approach the next stage of your life with greater certainty and stability. 
Reaching a financial settlement following separation can be complex, particularly where finances are intertwined. We guide you through each stage of the process, ensuring you understand your options clearly. Divorce alone does not resolve financial or child arrangements, which must be addressed separately. Our role is to support you in achieving a fair and workable financial outcome. 
We assist families in resolving child-related issues arising from separation or ongoing disputes. Childrens interests are at the heart of every recommendation we make. Our advice supports cooperative solutions covering living arrangements, schooling and personal welfare. Where necessary, we also explain formal legal options to protect children and secure appropriate outcomes.

I would like to thank James for his assistance in my recent case of which he has handled .
Throughout the process his advice has been accurate balanced and has shown empathy, toward his client .
His responses have been prompt and dealt with when promised .
He was recommended to me , and i have no hesitation in doing so to anybody else as his service has been as rated.
I changed legal advisors due to the feeling of been a number or a cost centre of a larger practice , i do not regret the move .
Many thanks

I will not hesitate to recommend Paradigm Family Law. Highly professional, knowledgeable and genuine. James Thornton and his network of experts are invaluable, paying attention to the tiniest of detail. At first glance they may seem expensive compared to other solicitors but the fixed fee option is actually a massive financial advantage. There's no worrying about how many emails or phone calls pass between you, as you know there will be no extra cost incurred. Paradigm definitely go more than that extra mile to try achieve the best results possible.
