Family Law

At Corlett Bolton & Co we appreciate that the breakdown of a relationship can be one of the most stressful and emotional periods of your life, particularly when children are involved. We provide a sensitive, highly competent service for all family matters including divorce, separation and child law.

Corlett Bolton & Co subscribed to the Guidelines of Resolution http://www.resolution.org.uk and Sally Bolton is registered on the Isle of Man Panel of Mediation.

Divorce and Separation

Miss Sally Bolton is one of the few FMA qualified mediators on the Isle of Man. For those individuals who do not want the additional stresses of a full court hearing and would prefer to resolve any issues in a more informal setting, our mediation service may provide the answer.

For cases where litigation is the only option, Corlett Bolton & Co take a firm but fair approach in order to ensure that your rights are fully protected.

Child law

Corlett Bolton and Co provides advice and assistance in respect of adoption, the custody of children, child maintenance, residence and contact orders, guardianship and legitimacy of children.

International Family Law

Sally has considerable experience and expertise in international family law including child custody and Hague Convention cases, acting for both parents and for HM Attorney General in Hague Convention child abduction proceedings. In addition she regularly advises on the reciprocity of Orders between the Isle of Man and many other jurisdictions both within and outside the British Isles. She is currently working on the difficulties of implementing pension sharing orders and other types of capital Financial Provision orders between the Isle of Man and other Crown Dependencies and the UK.
