Divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution
Divorce or separation is a significant life change that can be both emotionally and financially difficult. Although the divorce process has become easier in the last few years, professional legal advice is paramount, to ensure that your rights are protected.
Our Guildford divorce solicitors provide transparent advice at every stage, helping you understand your position and the steps involved. We also offer support with civil partnership dissolutions, and assistance with separation agreements for couples who do not wish to divorce.
Wherever possible, we aim to resolve disputes amicably, avoiding the need for court proceedings. However, if going to court is the only option, we will provide excellent representation, helping you to achieve the best outcome possible.
We also have extensive experience in high-value and international divorces, offering tailored solutions for more complex situations.
Financial settlements
Resolving financial matters can be one of the most difficult parts of a separation. Our Guildford family law solicitors are experienced in helping clients negotiate fair settlements and having these turned into legally binding Consent Orders.
Our divorce financial settlement solicitors are well-versed in cases involving complex finances, including property portfolios, pensions, high-value investments, and business interests.
If an agreement cannot be reached through negotiation, our team can guide you through arbitration or represent you in court to secure a fair resolution.
Children
Arranging suitable living and contact arrangements for children is a top priority for most parents during a separation or divorce. While many parents reach agreements independently, others may require assistance through legal advice, mediation, or court orders.
A child arrangements order outlines where a child will live and how they will spend time with the non-resident parent. These orders replaced the previous Contact Orders and Residence Orders. If you need support to obtain a Child Arrangements Order, or negotiate related child law matters, we can help.
Our Guildford child law solicitors can promise to provide clear, practical advice to ensure that arrangements prioritise your children’s welfare while protecting your parental rights.
Prenuptial agreements
Prenuptial agreements are an effective way to safeguard your assets before marriage. These agreements are particularly beneficial for individuals with property, savings, or children from previous relationships.
Our Guildford prenuptial agreement solicitors can help draft or review agreements that are fair and meet your specific needs. We also provide advice on postnuptial agreements and equivalent arrangements for civil partners.
Unmarried couples
Unmarried couples do not have the same legal rights as married couples, even if they have lived together for many years. This can create significant challenges during separation, particularly around property and financial arrangements.
A cohabitation agreement can clarify financial responsibilities and help to avoid disputes if the relationship ends. If you are separating without an agreement, it is important to seek professional legal advice, to understand your rights and obligations.
Our Guildford family law solicitors can support you with creating cohabitation agreements and navigating separation issues for unmarried couples.
