A clear first assessment when your legal issue does not fit a standard service description.
Some personal and family matters are uncommon, procedurally unusual or sit between several areas of law. We identify the legal basis, correct court or authority, any deadline and the most useful next step, whether the matter is new or already underway.
If the matter falls within our experience, we will explain how we can help. If another solicitor, counsel or professional is better placed, we will say so promptly and help identify the right direction rather than leaving you with a generic answer.

Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh, with telephone and video appointments available throughout Scotland.

A dedicated family law team handling everything from straightforward separation to complex financial and child law disputes.
What Specialist Family Law Services Do We Offer?
At Kee Solicitors, we handle a range of specialist legal applications that fall outside the scope of everyday family law. Our experienced team provides expert advice on complex and unusual matters, approaching each case with the same care, thoroughness and professionalism that we bring to all of our work.
Exhumation and other applications requiring tailored evidence and procedure.
Our specialist application work includes exhumation and disinterment matters, where a sheriff court warrant and coordination with burial authorities may be required. We also consider unusual family status, child, document and personal applications that fall within our Scottish family law and related court experience.
The scope of work depends on the remedy. We may need civil status records, sworn evidence, expert reports, foreign documents, proof of notice or consent, and advice on jurisdiction or recognition. We identify those requirements before proceedings are raised or, where a case is already underway, review what remains outstanding.
Where the issue crosses into another field, such as immigration, criminal law, succession, property, tax or foreign law, we work with or refer to the appropriate specialist. This keeps the advice accurate and avoids asking one application to solve a problem outside its legal scope.
When you contact us, a brief summary, any deadline and any formal paper you have received are enough to begin. We will then tell you which further documents or evidence will be useful and whether an initial consultation, document review or urgent step is appropriate.
Where you need wider legal advice, our one-hour fixed-fee initial consultation costs £250 + VAT and includes a written assessment of your options and a tailored estimate for any further work.

Frequently Asked Questions: Specialist Family Law Applications in Scotland
Common questions about specialist family law matters in Scotland.
What is a specialist application?
It is a matter requiring a particular statutory, court or administrative procedure rather than a standard transactional service. The label does not determine the remedy; the facts and legal basis do.
How long will a specialist application take?
Timescales depend on the procedure, evidence, notice, reports, opposition and court or authority availability. We provide a staged view after identifying the correct route.
What documents should I send initially?
A brief summary, any deadline and the main court or authority paper are usually enough for an initial assessment. We will then request the chronology, civil status records, correspondence or expert material relevant to the identified procedure.
Will I need to attend court?
Possibly. Some applications are decided on documents; others require a hearing or evidence, particularly if opposed. We explain the likely procedure once the application is identified.
Can you help if the matter is not listed on the website?
We can assess it. If it falls within our competence, we will explain the route and scope. If another specialist is required, we will say so rather than accepting work we are not best placed to undertake.
