I instructed Rooney Family Law in relation to my separation and divorce. I have two young children and wanted to reach agreement about their care arrangements now that I had separated from my husband. I also wanted to keep the family home as the children go to a good school and are well settled in the area.
I dealt with Brian Rooney who took the time to explore various options with me, particularly in relation to the children. Unfortunately, my husband refused to engage in any negotiation, including mediation, in relation to the children and pushed on with a court action.
We had to attend court on a couple of occasions to try and resolve matters. I was apprehensive about having to go to court but Brian explained the process to me in great detail which put my mind at ease. He put across my concerns to the Sheriff dealing with the case and the Sheriff put an order in place which, whilst not exactly what I had hoped for, struck a compromise between what I thought was best and what my husband thought was best. The children are happy and settled in the routine which was the most important thing to me.
I did worry about not being able to afford to take over the mortgage to the property but Rooney Family Law put me in touch with a mortgage broker who was able to secure the correct funding for me.
I have no hesitation in recommending Rooney Family Law. They found out what was most important to me and provided me with clear advice and options based on my situation. read more
