The Family Law Company by Hartnell Chanot is a firm of family law specialists. Founded in 1991, The Family Law Company (formerly known as Hartnell Chanot & Partners) has grown to become the largest family law solicitors in the South West with offices in Exeter and Plymouth

We take a different approach to many other traditional family law practices. Rather than focus on blame our family law solicitors promote a problem solving approach and lead the way in constructive methods of resolving family disputes.

We know that going through a divorce or separation is an extremely emotional and stressful experience and our family law specialists work extremely hard to make the process as painless as possible and to be fully supportive.

Our hope is that these videos will provide guidance, tips and advice to help you navigate whatever family crisis you are facing.
