How We Help You

Divorce and Separation

Our expert team provides comprehensive legal support for divorce proceedings, judicial separation, and the dissolution of civil partnerships. We guide you through the complexities of the legal process, helping to ensure a smooth and amicable resolution where possible. Whether you are seeking to end a marriage or partnership, we work to protect your interests and help you achieve a fair outcome in all matters relating to your separation.

Children

We offer expert advice on all issues relating to children, including securing 'Live with Orders' (previously known as residence orders) and 'Spend Time with Orders' (formerly contact orders). Our solicitors also assist with obtaining 'Specific Issue Orders' and 'Prohibited Steps Orders' to address particular concerns, such as decisions about education, medical treatment, or relocation. We understand the importance of protecting your child's welfare and work tirelessly to secure arrangements that are in their best interest.

Financial Settlements

Following a marital breakdown, we provide expert guidance on the full range of financial issues, including the division of assets, maintenance, pensions, and more. Our team works to ensure that you achieve a fair and equitable financial settlement, considering both your immediate needs and long-term security. We aim to minimise conflict and ensure that all financial matters are resolved efficiently and fairly.

Pre-nuptial and Post-nuptial Agreements

We offer expert advice and assistance in drafting pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements to help protect your assets and clarify financial arrangements before or during marriage. These agreements provide clarity and security, setting out how assets and finances will be managed in the event of a separation or divorce, and helping to prevent future disputes.

Unmarried Couples

For cohabitees facing separation, we provide clear and practical advice on the legal aspects of their situation, including proceedings under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act (TOLATA).
