If you require advice surrounding the law on marriage, divorce, cohabitation, separation and/or children please get in touch and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
When it comes to family matters, often cases need compassionate and pragmatic advice, as emotions can run high following the breakdown of a relationship. Ellisons’ team of family solicitors can provide bespoke family advice, with minimal jargon, and guide you through the emotional and legal challenges that a separation can bring.
This is achieved in part through our membership to Resolution. All of our family solicitors are committed to achieving a constructive and amicable resolution to any family dispute that you may face. We always encourage ways of resolving matters through Non Court Dispute Resolution, such a mediation, Collaborative Law and Resolution Together (where one of our trained solicitors can act for both parties in specific circumstances). Court is often seen as the last resort.
Regardless of what point you are at in your separation, please contact our team of specialist family solicitors to discuss further. We offer a free exploratory call, in which you’ll discuss the details of your specific case. We will then be able to suggest the right person in our family team to work with you moving forward.
The lead contact for our Ipswich family team is Samantha Markham, who first joined the firm in May 2024. Samantha is a member of Resolution, which is a national organisation of family law professionals committed to a non-confrontational and constructive approach to all family matters. She is also a member of the local Resolution committee..
Ellisons operates from a central office near Portman Road car park – Connexions, 159 Princes Street.
We act for clients across Suffolk, including Aldeburgh, Felixstowe, Framlingham, Hadleigh, Snape, Southwold and Woodbridge.
