Our family law services in Exeter
Divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution
Navigating the legal and emotional complexities of separation can be overwhelming. Whether you require assistance with divorce, civil partnership dissolution, or a separation agreement, our solicitors will provide the guidance you need.
Our Exeter divorce solicitors support clients in all types of separations, from straightforward cases to international divorces. If your separation involves cross-border considerations, we have extensive experience in handling international divorce cases.
We prioritise amicable resolutions through negotiation, but if court proceedings become necessary, we will represent you effectively to protect your interests.
Financial settlements
Dividing financial assets fairly is a critical aspect of separation. Whether dealing with property, pensions, or business interests, securing a legally binding agreement ensures long-term financial security.
Our Exeter family law solicitors assist with negotiating and formalising financial settlements, aiming for solutions that are both fair and practical. If necessary, we provide strong legal representation in arbitration and court proceedings to achieve the best outcome.
Children
For parents, ensuring their children’s well-being after separation is a top priority. While many families agree on arrangements without legal intervention, some cases require legal support to safeguard both parental rights and the child’s best interests.
Our child law solicitors assist parents in obtaining child arrangements orders that determine where a child will live and how much time they will spend with each parent.
We provide straightforward legal advice, ensuring that family arrangements are in the child’s best interests while balancing parental rights.
Prenuptial agreements
A prenuptial agreement provides financial security and clarity before marriage, particularly for individuals with property, business assets, or inherited wealth.
Our Exeter solicitors have extensive experience in drafting and reviewing prenuptial agreements that ensure fairness and legal enforceability. We also assist with postnuptial agreements for married couples who wish to protect their assets.
Unmarried couples
Cohabiting couples do not have the same legal rights as married couples, despite the common belief in common law marriage. Without a legal agreement, separating partners may have no claim to shared assets.
Our unmarried couples solicitors provide guidance on the legal protections available to cohabiting partners. A cohabitation agreement can define financial responsibilities and clarify property ownership, ensuring both parties are protected in the event of a breakup.
If you are separating without a legal agreement in place, we can advise on your rights and options.
