Family Law

"By far the most capable set in ancillary relief, Broadway House Chambers is a first port of call for family cases" - Legal 500, 2011/12

Broadway House Chambers is widely recognised as having one of the finest Family Law teams in the North of England. Our barristers have a wealth of experience in all areas of family law and many members of the team are rated by the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners.

The team possesses key strengths in ancillary relief, with this area forming a significant proportion of the team's work. The closely-related and developing area of cohabitation and claims under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 are also a mainstay requiring our expertise. Our Barristers regularly deal with complex cases involving substantial and high-value asset bases, often including the following issues:

  • Business ownership, shareholding and other interests
  • Property portfolios in the UK and worldwide
  • Offshore trusts
  • Pensions
  • Inherited wealth
  • Freezing, Inspection and s.37 Injunctions
  • Interveners

In addition, the team is extremely proud of its children law practice and is well known for providing sensitive yet robust representation in difficult private and public law cases. Our members represent parents, grandparents, Guardians and Local Authorities in cases across the full spectrum of children law, and we also act for clients in equally challenging domestic violence cases. The team's strengths include:

  • Residence and Contact Orders, including Interim Orders
  • Specific Issue Orders
  • Prohibited Steps Orders and cases involving foreign elements
  • Child abduction and permanent removal applications
  • Care Proceedings, including Emergency Protection and Interim Orders
  • Non-Molestation Orders and Protection from Harassment Act 1997 injunctions
  • Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Act orders
