Whether your finances are relatively straightforward or include more complex assets, such as pensions, businesses, shares and investments, we can help you achieve a fair financial settlement. In most cases we can negotiate out-of-court divorce settlements, saving you time, money and unnecessary stress.
Our divorce lawyers can help with financial matters including:
Sorting out arrangements for your children is often the most emotionally challenging part of divorce and separation, but our team have the skills and experience to make the process easier on you and your children while protecting their best interests and your rights as a parent.
Our family law team can assist with issues including:
If you and your partner are living together without getting married, a cohabitation agreement can give you both a sense of security and reduce the potential for conflict if your relationship ends. This is particularly worth considering if you own property together or have children, either together or from a previous relationship.
With many couples now getting married and re-married later in life, it is common for one or both parties to have property and other assets, as well as children from previous relationships. A pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement can provide security for the future, making sure there is no confusion over how your assets will be divided, where any children will live and how they will be provided for if you later separate.
If you or your children have been victims of domestic abuse, we can provide fast, effective legal solutions to protect you and your loved ones from your abuser.
