A supportive family law solicitor who strives to support clients through the stress of dealing with family proceedings through clear advice tailored to the client’s needs and objectives. I specialise in children matters, disputes between cohabitees, divorce and financial remedy proceedings and domestic abuse and protection from harm. I obtained Higher Rights of Audience in 2018 and where appropriate seek to represent clients in Court in order to ensure continuity.I work with many individuals going through the stress of a marriage breakdown, a recent separation or having difficulty in agreeing child contact arrangements. Clients in these situations require clear advice of the law and principles that the Court’s adhere to and ultimately, what a likely outcome could be.My Specialisms:• Advising upon and drafting Deeds for cohabiting couples or former cohabitees• Children matters – contact disputes and Child Arrangements Order proceedings• Disputes between cohabitees – Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act proceedings• Divorce proceedings and separation• Domestic abuse and protection from harm• Drafting and advising upon nuptial agreements• Financial Remedy I began my legal career in 2013 working as a Commercial Litigation Paralegal following my graduation from Leeds Beckett University in 2013 with First Class Honours in Law and Criminology. Having gained experience within the legal sector, I undertook the Legal Practice Course on a PT basis and upon completion won an award for being the highest achiever in the Family Law module.During my degree, I volunteered with Leeds Citizens Advice which provided me with early experience of dealing with individuals requiring legal advice.If you wish to speak to me about a family law issue, please call me on 01227 287296 or email me at curtiswray@girlings.com.If you require legal advice that falls outside of my specialist area, then I will be happy to put you in contact with one of my colleagues.
