When parents separate, deciding where children will live and how much time they will spend with each parent can become one of the most difficult issues to resolve.

Financial Settlements Following Divorce
The financial consequences of separation can often be just as concerning as the divorce itself.
You may be worried about what will happen to your family home, savings, pensions, investments or business interests. You may also need to understand whether maintenance should be paid and how your future financial needs will be met.
Our solicitors can help you understand your position and work towards a fair financial settlement.
We can advise on:
- The family home
- Savings and investments
- Pensions
- Business interests
- Spousal maintenance
- Financial disclosure

Where possible, we will work towards resolving financial matters through negotiation and agreement. If an agreement cannot be reached, we can advise and represent you through court proceedings.

Domestic Abuse & Urgent Family Law Protection
If you or your children are at risk of domestic abuse, urgent legal protection may be available.
Our Family Law team understands that these situations require sensitivity, confidentiality and prompt action.
We can advise on protective measures including Non-Molestation Orders and other Family Court applications. Where appropriate, urgent applications may be made to the Court to help protect you and your family.
If you believe you need urgent legal protection, contact our Family Law team as soon as possible.

Cohabitation & Unmarried Couples
Living together does not automatically give unmarried couples the same legal rights as married couples.
If you are moving in together, purchasing property together or separating after living together, getting legal advice can help you understand and protect your position.
Our solicitors can advise on:
- Cohabitation agreements
- Property ownership
- Financial contributions
- Separation
- Disputes concerning jointly owned property
- Financial arrangements involving children
We can also prepare agreements setting out how finances and assets should be dealt with during the relationship and what should happen if you later separate.
[GET COHABITATION ADVICE]
Pre-Nuptial & Post-Nuptial Agreements
A carefully prepared agreement can provide greater clarity about your financial arrangements and help reduce uncertainty should your relationship later break down.
We can advise upon and prepare pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements designed around your individual financial circumstances.
Our team will explain the implications of the agreement and the steps that should be taken to give it the best prospect of being considered by the Court in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a solicitor to get divorced?
It is possible to apply for a divorce without instructing a solicitor. However, legal advice can be particularly valuable where there are financial matters, property, pensions, business interests or arrangements for children to consider. Divorce itself does not automatically resolve all of the financial issues arising from a marriage.
How long does a divorce take?
Under the current no-fault divorce process, there are mandatory waiting periods built into the procedure. The overall timescale will depend on the circumstances and progress of the application. We can explain the current process and expected timescales during your consultation.
What happens to our house when we divorce?
There is no single answer that applies to every couple. The family home forms part of the wider financial circumstances that may need to be considered following separation. Factors such as income, other assets, financial needs and the needs of any children can all be relevant.
Our solicitors can assess your circumstances and explain the options available to you.
Can we agree our finances without going to court?
Often, yes. Financial settlements can frequently be negotiated between the parties and their solicitors or reached through other forms of dispute resolution.
Where an agreement is reached, it is usually important to consider having the agreement formally recorded in a Court-approved Consent Order.
What if my former partner will not let me see my children?
Where parents cannot agree arrangements for their children, legal advice can help identify the appropriate next steps. This may involve negotiation, mediation where suitable, or an application to the Family Court for a Child Arrangements Order.
Can grandparents apply to see their grandchildren?
In certain circumstances, grandparents and other family members may be able to seek the Court’s permission to make an application concerning arrangements for a child. We can advise you based on your particular circumstances.
Can you help with an urgent domestic abuse situation?
Yes. Our Family Law team can advise about legal protection available through the Family Court, including applications for Non-Molestation Orders and other appropriate protective orders. Where circumstances require urgent action, speak to us as soon as possible.
Do you offer fixed fees?
Fixed-fee packages are available for certain Family Law services. Contact us and we can discuss your matter and the likely costs before you decide how you wish to proceed.
