Relationship Breakdown

On any relationship breakdown, many difficult and often conflicting issues can arise regarding emotions, children and the financial consequences of divorce.

Sound practical advice is crucial at this time, so as to ensure that appropriate and amicable solutions are found as quickly as possible.

We at Ozannes are committed to helping you through the stress and strains of what can be a very difficult time.

Our Approach

Our approach is to provide a quality of service second to none. We are approachable and practical - and yet tough when you need us to fight your corner.

We have the largest dedicated Family Law Team in Guernsey.

We have many years experience in this highly specialised area, we understand the sensitivity of marital breakdown and that the "gentle touch" is often the best approach to achieve what you want.

We understand that law and lawyers often seem aloof and distant. At Ozannes we try to separate the wheat from the chaff and to deal with the crucial issues in a clear and decisive way. We will not duck your questions and we will give you straightforward, practical answers.

Throughout, we will endeavour to provide you with all the relevant information so as to enable you to make informed decisions as to what is best for you and your family.

Our Services

Our aim is to be approachable and available whenever you need advice either on the end of a telephone, face to face or by email.

Free Initial Interview

Divorce is stressful enough without having to worry about the cost of consulting an advocate.

Mindful of this, we are happy to meet with you free of charge to give you an honest appraisal as to where you stand in relation to any aspect of Guernsey Family Law.

We are able to meet each week from 8.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. or out of office hours if required.
