Family & Civil Partnership
Understanding and Respect

At DWT Legal, this is the guiding philosophy for the way we practise family law.  We aim to make sure that the settlements we achieve reflect what is important to our clients, many of whom are business owners, directors, senior professionals or their spouses or partners.

We provide a personalised service, taking time to understand our clients’ concerns, objectives and what matters most to them.  We take into account not only financial aspects but also our client’s family dynamics .  Getting to know clients in this way allows us to consider all the options, associated benefits and potential pitfalls and give them the best possible advice assistance.

We build partnerships with our clients founded on mutual respect and whilst we are happy to be as informal as our clients desire, we never avoid the ‘straight talking’ that can be required at times.

Whether practising divorce law or any other aspect of family law, our customised tailored support extends from our in-house team of experts to alliances with other non-legal professionals, providing services such as financial planning and specialist coaches.

In addition to being a fully qualified and experienced divorce lawyer, Debbie Fowler is a member of Resolution and also a Collaborative Family Lawyer.  This enables her to work with another similarly trained lawyers and both clients to achieve settlement without having to attend Court and a settlement being imposed.

The Collaborative Family Law process facilitates structured communication between the parties and allows discussion around the more intangible elements. Most importantly, it reflects the need to protect and preserve the dignity of all participants.  As Debbie says “reaching solutions together can often ease the pain of relationship breakdown and create the best chance of building a brighter future.”

Debbie and her team also regularly undertake work on pre-nuptial agreements; civil partnerships and for couples planning to live together. Linking these diverse situations is the  desire to provide protection against future possibilities for all parties based on a sound understanding of our clients’ needs.
