Karen Wylie

Senior Associate at Morton Fraser

Karen is a Senior Associate in the Family Law Team with over fifteen years experience as a family lawyer.

She has been accredited by the Law Society of Scotland as a specialist in Family Law, Child Law and Family Mediation.

Karen provides advice on the full spectrum of family law matters, with particular emphasis on high value, complex, financial provision on divorce and separation.

Karen provides expert advice and guidance on the full spectrum of family law matters including: separation and financial provision on divorce, disputes about the residence of children and contact with children, financial support (or aliment) for children and spouses, pre-nuptial agreements and cohabitation agreements, orders determining the parentage of children (called 'declarators of parentage or non parentage'), adoption including step-parent adoption, and cohabitation claims on separation or death. Karen can also provide advice on Guardianships and Intervention Orders where adults either lack, or have lost, capacity to deal with their own affairs.

Karen aims to provide clear, practical legal advice to empower clients to understand their options and make informed decisions about their future. Where required, Karen represents clients in the Sheriff Courts across Scotland and attends cases calling in the Court of Session, although much of her time is devoted to resolving matters amicably where that is possible.
