Profile: Hartnell Chanot & Partners are Family Law specialists. Unlike other solicitors, this means that we only handle family law and all our solicitors have many years’ experience in handling complex and demanding divorce and family cases.

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

Our core approach is to:

- protect the vulnerable;
- find fair solutions; and
- put children at the centre.

We can advise on all aspects of divorce and separation including: ancillary relief (your finances), divorce settlements, separation agreements and unmarried couples. We focus on the interests of any children in divorce including: child custody, child maintenance, care proceedings and parental abduction and we are dedicated to protecting and supporting victims of domestic violence.

Based in Exeter and Plymouth in Devon, we have grown to become the largest family law specialists in the South West of England.
