    Our family law services near Harrow

    Divorce, separation and civil partnership dissolution
    Going through a divorce is often emotional and complex, and while the application procedure has been simplified in recent years, seeking expert legal advice is crucial to understanding the implications for your finances and children.

    Our Harrow divorce solicitors provide comprehensive guidance, ensuring you have a full understanding of your rights and responsibilities. We also assist with civil partnership dissolution, supporting clients with each stage and offering tailor-fit legal advice.

    Additionally, if you do not wish to legally end your marriage, but you would like to separate from your partner, we can help you to access a separation agreement.

    Whenever possible, we aim to resolve disputes without resorting to court proceedings, helping to minimise stress and expense. If court action is necessary, our Harrow divorce solicitors will provide robust representation to secure the best possible outcome for you and your family.

    We also have extensive experience in handling high-value and international divorces, offering tailored support for more complex situations.

    Financial settlements
    Agreeing on a financial settlement is often one of the most contentious aspects of a divorce or separation. Our solicitors provide expert support to help you negotiate a fair agreement and formalise it with a legally binding Consent Order.

    We have significant experience assisting with settlements involving complex assets, including multiple properties, pensions, business interests, and high-value investments.

    If reaching an agreement proves challenging, our Harrow divorce financial settlement solicitors can guide you through arbitration or court processes to help secure a favourable resolution.

    Children
    When children are involved in a separation, making suitable living arrangements and agreeing on contact schedules are vital. While many parents can reach agreements independently, some situations may require solicitor-led negotiations, mediation, or court involvement.

    A child arrangements order, issued by the court, sets out where a child will live and how they will spend time with the non-resident parent. Previously, these were known as Contact Orders and Residence Orders.

    Our Harrow child law solicitors provide practical advice in both straightforward and complex situations, ensuring your children’s best interests are prioritised while safeguarding your parental rights.

    Prenuptial agreements
    Many people entering marriage later in life or after previous relationships have significant assets to protect, such as property, inheritance, or provisions for children from earlier relationships. Prenuptial agreements offer clarity and peace of mind in these circumstances.

    Our Harrow prenuptial agreement solicitors can help you draft or review an agreement tailored to your needs. We also advise on postnuptial agreements for those who are already married, as well as similar arrangements for civil partnerships.

    Unmarried couples
    Unmarried couples do not share the same legal rights as those who are married or in a civil partnership. Despite the misconception of ‘common law marriage’, partners in cohabiting relationships have no automatic entitlement to each other’s assets or property when separating.

    Creating a cohabitation agreement can provide clarity on financial responsibilities and help avoid disputes in the event of separation. If you are separating without such an agreement, expert legal advice is essential.

    Our Harrow family law solicitors can assist with creating cohabitation agreements and guide you through the separation process. We also provide advice for couples separating without a formal agreement in place.
