Divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution
Going through a divorce or separation can be a challenging experience, both emotionally and practically. While the process itself has become more efficient in recent years, professional advice is essential when dealing with financial matters and arrangements for children.
Our Bath divorce solicitors will ensure you fully understand your options and legal rights, guiding you through each stage of the process.
We also advise on civil partnership dissolution, and separation agreements, supporting clients through each necessary stage, whilst offering bespoke advice.
We focus on resolving issues outside of court whenever possible, helping to save you time, money, and stress. If a court hearing is required, our Bath divorce solicitors will provide strong and effective representation.
We also have significant experience handling various high-value and international divorce cases, ensuring complex matters are treated with precision and sensitivty.
Financial settlements
Negotiating a financial settlement is often one of the most difficult aspects of separation. Our Bath family law solicitors can guide you through this process, helping to achieve a fair agreement that can be made legally binding through a Consent Order.
We have extensive experience in handling financial settlements involving pensions, property portfolios, business interests, and high-value assets.
If an agreement cannot be reached through negotiation, our team is well-equipped to provide support through arbitration or court proceedings.
Children
Making arrangements for children is one of the most important priorities during a separation. While parents often agree on these matters independently, in some cases legal support is required to ensure everyone’s best interests are protected.
A child arrangements order outlines where a child will live and how much time they will spend with each parent. These orders were previously called Contact Orders and Residence Orders.
Our Bath-based child law solicitors offer clear, practical advice to help you reach an agreement that works for everyone involved. We can assist with negotiations, mediation, or court proceedings to secure the right arrangements for your children.
Prenuptial agreements
Prenuptial agreements have become increasingly common as people marry later in life or enter marriage with significant assets. These agreements help ensure that property, finances, and family provisions are protected in case of future separation.
Our Bath prenuptial agreement solicitors can help draft or review an agreement that reflects your needs and is fair to both parties. We also advise on postnuptial agreements for married couples and similar agreements for civil partners.
Unmarried couples
Cohabiting couples do not have the same legal rights as married couples, despite the common misconception of ‘common law marriage’. If the relationship ends, this can lead to confusion and disputes over property and assets.
Creating a cohabitation agreement can provide clarity on financial responsibilities and protect both parties in the event of separation. If you are separating without such an agreement in place, seeking legal advice is essential.
Our Bath family law solicitors can help with creating cohabitation agreements, as well as guiding unmarried couples through the process of separation.
