How we can help
Divorce and judicial separation
We can help you understand what grounds are required for divorce and separation, assist with court applications and preparation for hearings, suggest ways of resolving disputes and generally advise on issues closely connected to divorce, such as child residence and maintenance.
Separation agreements
Separation agreements are used to settle financial issues and where children will live following a separation. They are a legal agreement and it is not necessary to apply to the courts to make one.
Pre-nuptial agreements
The status of pre-nuptial agreements is, at present, dubious. However, there is a general consensus of the courts that they will be acceptable where both parties have sought independent legal advice, fully disclosed their personal assets and no children have been born during the course of the marriage. We can help you properly draft pre-nuptial agreements and make sure you are fully informed of the effect of any agreement made.
Child maintenance
In the majority of cases, parents will come to a private arrangement regarding child maintenance where there is a non-resident parent. However, disputes can happen and where this is the case, the Child Support Agency will get in involved. We can provide you with advice on how to make applications to the Agency for maintenance orders.
Child contact orders
Contact orders are only necessary where there is a dispute within a family following divorce or separation that cannot be settled out of court. Any member of the family, including siblings and grandparents, can make an application and we can of course be assistance in making an application. If you are a non-resident parent, you should be aware that non-payment of maintenance cannot prevent you from having contact with your child as contact and maintenance are two separate issues not congruent on each other.
Other issues we deal with include:
- Child residence order applications
- Inheritance disputes
- Civil partnerships
- Injunctions
- Financial settlements
- Maintenance for spouses
