“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.” – Gilda Radner
Domestic relations law (covering areas like marriage, divorce, and child custody) is unreserved in the UK, meaning you do not need to be a solicitor to offer general advice. However, for court representation or formal legal advice, you must seek a qualified, regulated legal professional such as a solicitor or barrister
As an unregulated practice, Laurselle Legal is not, nor are we required to be, regulated by the Law Society or the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). We are not solicitors, a firm of solicitors, nor do we claim to be. Family law is an unreserved area of law, meaning we can provide general guidance and support, but cannot offer formal legal representation or specific legal advice that could affect the outcome of your case.
Please note that while Laurselle Legal cannot represent clients in court or provide legal advice that directly impacts your case, we are committed to offering professional and supportive guidance throughout your domestic law matter. Our services include helping you make a plan of action, providing tailored support, and preparing you for legal proceedings.
If legal representation or specific legal advice is required, we can connect you with regulated legal counsel from our network who can provide the necessary legal advice and represent you in court.
If you are at the stage in your relationship where you don’t know what to do next, we may be able to help.
As divorce consultants, we provide practical help and emotional support to people struggling with divorce or separation. We will provide you with a safe, confidential and non-judgement environment to discuss your situation and ask questions, which can be as simple as ‘what do I do next?’ It is not just information or answer to your questions, it is a detailed step by step guidance to attain a favourable outcome for you, tailored to your particular situation.
We are not divorce solicitors. Therefore, we cannot provide formal legal advice. However, we can explain legal information and processes. We provide help in completing legal forms. This will save your solicitor’s time and your money. We can help you with practical matters, for example moving home, guidance on property sale or transfer, closing bank accounts, transferring money, budgeting, workable parenting plan with your ex for the benefit of the children.
In short, we can help you with
- Listening to your story to provide emotional support for your circumstances

If you both agree to an amicable divorce, we can help you both. We will complete all your paperwork for you from the application to final order. We can help you agree your financial settlements and record them in a legally binding way (consent order or separation agreement). We can also help you to work out contact arrangement with your children and record them in a parenting agreement.
If you believe that you can be benefitted by our services, please contact us for your first free of cost meeting. At the meeting, we will discuss your circumstances and answer any urgent questions you may have. Upon instructions, we will prepare a detailed action plan for you including legal and non-legal issues.
