Family Law Advice You Can Trust – In Aberdeen or Online

At XK Family Law Solicitors Aberdeen, we offer in-depth initial consultations to help you understand your legal rights, assess your options, and determine the best way forward in your family law matter.

Where and How We Meet

Your initial consultation can take place:

• In person at our Aberdeen office:
  1 Marischal Square, Broad Street, Aberdeen, AB10 1BL.
• Online via Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, or an online platform you prefer.
• By telephone on 01224 012 913 or 07776 886 234.

What to Expect in Your Consultation

Our aim is to give you a full understanding of your legal position – clearly explaining the law and how to navigate it. During your consultation, your family law solicitor will ask relevant detailed questions about your situation. You won’t need exact financial figures or official statements at this stage. General estimates are fine to begin with, which will give us an over view of your case. More precise information can be gathered later.

We tailor every consultation to the legal issue you’re facing.

Separation, Divorce & Financial Provision

If your enquiry relates to divorce or financial provision, your solicitor will:

• Review your assets and liabilities to determine the overall matrimonial assets including property, pensions, savings, loans etc.
• Review your rights and and arguments, and your Ex’s rights and arguments regarding matrimonial property.

• Help you understand what evidence you’ll need and how we’ll approach your case.

• Offer practical recommendations for next steps – including;
