Tailored support for every situation

Our divorce and separation solicitors help with all types of separation, including divorce, ending civil partnerships, separation agreements, and judicial separation. We make sure you understand your rights and options clearly. If you’re not married but living together, we can guide you through property and financial issues related to children, which are often confusing but important.

Our team combines strong legal knowledge with kindness and understanding. We listen to your concerns and give advice that’s easy to follow, helping to reduce stress. Whenever possible, we work to find friendly solutions, but we’re ready to stand up for you in court if needed.

If you’re married or in a civil partnership

We can support you with:

• Divorce proceedings
• Separation agreements
• Judicial separation
• Dissolution of civil partnerships
• Transfer of tenancy after separation

If you’re living together (cohabiting)

Many people don’t realise that there is no such thing as a ‘common law marriage’. Your legal rights are very different if you are not married, especially when it comes to property and financial claims.

Our divorce and separation solicitors advise on:

• Property and trust disputes after separation
• Financial claims for children (under Schedule 1 of the Children Act)
• Delaying the sale of a family home for children’s needs
• Understanding your rights when the home is in one person’s name

We’ll help you work out what you’re entitled to and what next steps make sense for your situation.
