We help you navigate:

• The divorce process from initial application to final order

• No-fault divorce proceedings under current legislation

• Civil partnership dissolution

• Judicial separation as an alternative to divorce

• Financial disclosure requirements and Form E completion

• Negotiating fair financial settlements

• Pension sharing orders and valuations

• Division of family businesses and complex assets

Since the introduction of no-fault divorce in 2022, the process has become less adversarial, but it still requires careful legal guidance. We ensure your divorce application is completed correctly, deadlines are met, and your interests are protected throughout.

Our approach focuses on:

• Reducing conflict and stress wherever possible

• Protecting your financial position

• Securing arrangements that work for your children

• Achieving closure so you can move forward with confidence

Many divorces can be resolved through negotiation and mediation, avoiding the stress and expense of court proceedings. However, when court intervention becomes necessary, our experienced family law solicitors provide strong courtroom representation.

We assist with:

• Child Arrangements Orders (residence and contact)

• Parental responsibility agreements and disputes

• Relocation within the UK or internationally

• Grandparents' rights and extended family contact

• Specific issue orders (schooling, medical treatment, passports)

• Prohibited steps orders to prevent harmful actions

• Enforcement of existing child arrangements orders

We always prioritize children's best interests while respecting parents' rights and recognizing the importance of maintaining meaningful relationships with both parents where safe and appropriate. Our solicitors are skilled in negotiation and work hard to help parents reach agreements without court proceedings.

When court involvement is necessary, we:

• Prepare compelling evidence and witness statements

• Instruct expert witnesses when required (psychologists, CAFCASS officers)

• Represent you in Family Court proceedings

• Navigate complex cases involving domestic abuse allegations

• Handle urgent applications for interim orders

Every child arrangement case is different. Some families need temporary measures during separation; others require long-term court orders. We tailor our approach to your situation, always keeping your children's welfare at the center of every decision.

Our financial settlement services include:

• Comprehensive financial disclosure and Form E preparation

• Valuation of family homes, properties, and investments

• Division of pensions through pension sharing or earmarking orders

• Assessment and division of business assets and shareholdings

• Spousal maintenance (periodical payments) negotiations

• Lump sum payment arrangements

• Property transfer agreements and equity calculations

• Enforcement of financial orders

Financial settlements in divorce can be complex, particularly when significant assets, business interests, inherited wealth, or overseas properties are involved. Our solicitors have extensive experience handling both straightforward and highly complex financial matters.

We help you understand:

• Your entitlement under matrimonial law

• How courts approach asset division (the "needs, compensation, sharing" principle)

• Tax implications of different settlement options

• The impact of cohabitation or remarriage on maintenance

• How to protect inherited assets or family wealth

Our goal is to achieve a fair settlement that provides financial security for your future while minimizing legal costs and emotional strain. We explore all avenues for negotiated settlement before recommending court proceedings.

Immediate legal protection through:

• Non-Molestation Orders to prevent harassment, threats, or violence

• Occupation Orders to regulate who can live in the family home

• Emergency injunctions and urgent court applications

• Police involvement and criminal proceedings coordination

• Applications for Domestic Violence Protection Orders

• Referrals to specialist domestic abuse support services

We understand that leaving an abusive relationship requires courage, careful planning, and professional support. Our family law solicitors work sensitively and confidentially, prioritizing your safety at every stage.

We can help you:

• Understand your legal options and rights

• Gather evidence to support your application

• Obtain emergency legal aid where available

• Navigate the family court system with confidence

• Connect with counseling and practical support services

• Plan safe exit strategies when you're ready

Domestic abuse takes many forms physical violence, emotional manipulation, financial control, or coercive behavior. Whatever your situation, we treat you with dignity, believe your account, and work tirelessly to secure legal protection.

We help you address:

• Protection of pre-marital assets and family wealth

• Inherited property and family businesses

• Financial responsibilities during marriage

• Arrangements in case of separation or divorce

• Debt responsibility and separate finances

• International considerations for multi-jurisdiction couples

While prenuptial agreements are not automatically legally binding in England and Wales, courts give them significant weight when properly prepared. We ensure your agreement meets legal requirements, with full financial disclosure, independent legal advice for both parties, and fair terms.

Our prenuptial agreement service includes:

• Initial consultation to discuss your circumstances and objectives

• Comprehensive financial disclosure

• Drafting bespoke agreements tailored to your situation

• Coordination with your partner's solicitor

• Review and finalization before marriage

• Advice on periodic review as circumstances change

Postnuptial agreements serve a similar purpose but are executed during marriage. They can be particularly valuable if your financial circumstances change significantly or if you inherit substantial assets.
